It works beautifully and tastes delicious in the final product. But do *not* eat that dough raw, lol. It tastes like sweetened hummus, yuck!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236185144763826567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-59595981384015041822013-10-03T00:29:59.842-07:002013-10-03T00:29:59.842-07:00Looks interesting, I'll try this recipe soon :...Looks interesting, I'll try this recipe soon :)vouchers for londonhttp://hot-voucher.co.uk/City/london-deals.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-48568858352780095222013-07-29T12:40:12.940-07:002013-07-29T12:40:12.940-07:00 What about using garbanzo bean flour?

I ...Excellent! Thank you so much for the feedback!<br /><br />I am actually planning to make these today at my son's request :)<br /><br />Regarding the coriander, it does add a subtle flavor that enhances the chocolate, but doesn't compete, so it's not necessarily obvious. On the other hand, spices do lose their flavor over time and can naturally vary from batch to batch. I wouldn't hesitate to try slightly more next time--maybe a teaspoon and a quarter or a teaspoon and a half. Spices can be bitter if used too heavily, so it won't hurt to start with the smaller amount and work your way up a bit. I wouldn't go over two teaspoons in this recipe.<br /><br />I hope that helps! Have fun with those cookies :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039800652275779654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-38551507682629273662012-05-31T12:45:00.754-07:002012-05-31T12:45:00.754-07:00I made these with my 2 yr old last night for her b...I made these with my 2 yr old last night for her big brother's preschool picnic today and they were a huge hit. (I did have to cheat and use commercial chocolate chunks, they were soy free, but contained a small amount of cane sugar. I can't wait to try your homemade chips when I have more time next time!) DH couldn't believe they were GAPS friendly and our plate of cookies (one of the only homemade options, and the only GF one) was the first item to "disappear" at the picnic. My children can't wait for me to bake them again, they LOVED the cookies. I couldn't really taste the coriander at all, should I add more next time? Thank you for the great recipe!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-8441746636427180262012-05-29T09:48:32.822-07:002012-05-29T09:48:32.822-07:00Hi Scott,

I have bought this (http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/glutenfreeproducts.aspx) before, and it's about $6/pound. It is a very nice, very fine almond flour, but our local bulk is slightly cheaper.<br /><br />Something to keep in mind is that these cookies are far more nutritious and filling than the regular, gluten type. I do not make these frequently, because they are pretty labor intensive, so I look at them as a very special treat.<br /><br />You could try any type of nut or seed flour in this recipe, but the flavor of others would be much stronger. Coconut flour would need quite a few adjustments, so keep that in mind if you decide to experiment with it.<br /><br />Let us know if you come up with something you like that doesn't cost so much.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236185144763826567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-68377513365068347942012-05-29T09:41:46.060-07:002012-05-29T09:41:46.060-07:00You could try any nut or seed flour.

Any others should work in a one-to-one substitution, but the flavors tend to be stronger. I would try hazelnut flour first, if that's on your acceptable list. A mix of soaked sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds would be good too, but more "healthy" tasting :)Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236185144763826567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528614636093635530.post-60564705290811130102012-05-10T16:55:41.987-07:002012-05-10T16:55:41.987-07:00These sound great, but one problem is the cost of ...These sound great, but one problem is the cost of almond flour, even in bulk.
