Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups of almond flour
• 1/4 cup of coconut flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa or cacao
• 3 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1 vegan “egg” ( 1 tsp of ground flax + 1 tsp ground chia + 3 tbsp of water)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup vegan chocolate
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 5 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla

.

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with silicone or parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla and mix well.
3. Make your vegan egg in a separate small bowl (ground flax + ground chia + water) and mix well.
4. Combine your vegan egg with the wet ingredients.
5. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, and baking soda to the wet ingredients (DO NOT mix cacao powder or chocolate chips yet!).
6. Mix well, until dough is formed.
7. Remove about 1/4 of the dough to a small bowl, and add in the cacao powder. Mix together well to ensure its combined throughout the dough.
8. To the remaining 3/4 of dough, add the chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
9. Divide the chocolate chip cookie dough into 12 balls. Divide the brownie dough into 12 equal balls.
10. Press a ball of cookie dough flat in your hand and place a brownie ball in the center. Wrap the cookie dough around it and roll into a ball. 
11. Place on the cookie sheet and repeat with remaining balls.
12. Flatten them gently as they don't spread out much on their own. 
13. Bake for 13-15 minutes.
14. Let cool & ENJOY
