Healthy Vegan Cookies

• 2 cups almond flour (preferably not Bob's Red Mill)
• 1 cup dry oats
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon xantham gum
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup unsalted dry roasted almonds, sliced
• 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
• 3 tablespoons vanilla flavored agave (or plain agave with dash of vanilla)
• 1/2 cup cacao chips
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure it is organized so there is a rack in the middle for the tray of cookies. Put a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
2. Mix the almond flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and xantham gum in a medium-large bowl. Next, add coconut flakes, coconut palm sugar, almonds, and cacao chips and mix well. Afterwards, add the olive oil and agave; mix until mixture is completely coated.
3. The mixture might seem like it doesn't hold well, but that is okay. Form 9-10 clumps, because that is how they might appear, spacing each about 2 inches apart (they will expand in width much more than height). Place on the middle rack and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they have a golden-brown color. They might seem undercooked if you touch them but allowing them to cool up to 10 minutes will give them a nice texture that melts in your mouth!
