almond joy cookies

so on instagram i follow @cleanfoodcrush. i guess she is actually from moab (though im not sure where she lives now) anyway- she posts all clean / whole food recipes. i love it. i've tried a few recipes. the peanut butter cookies.... well... they weren't my favorite. but these? oh yes. they are absolutely wonderful.

this makes about 12 cookies, so i would double it! or... maybe not if you are like me and are at risk to eating the whole plate!

almond joy cookies
recipe via @cleanfoodcrush on instagram

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 TBS unsweetened cacao powder
2-3 TBS thin sliced almonds
1/8 tsp almond extract
2 egg whites
6 packets of stevia (i did not have this on hand. i used regular sugar  - 1/4 cup)
2 heaping TBS dark chocolate chips

preheat oven to 350. mix ingredients well. drop by rounded tablespoon on a coconut oil sprayed cookie sheet. (i used parchment paper) bake 7-8 minutes. (mine actually took 12 or 13... but i think my oven heating element is going out.)
