In a medium mixing bowl add the butter, maple syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Using a hand held mixer, beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Note - The sugar will have a 'crunchy' texture in the cookie dough. If you want to make it smoother, you can grind the sugar in a spice grinder or blender.
Sprinkle the almond and oat flour over the top of the butter mix, and mix with the mixer or by hand, until well incorporated and a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips
Cover and chill the cookie dough in the bowl for at least 2 hours. This allows the flours to hydrate and the flavors develop. Enjoy!
Notes
Serving Size - This recipe can easily be doubled.
Flours - There is no need to 'heat-treat' the almond or oat flour. You can swap in another gluten free flour of choice, and I would recommend a flour that has a pleasant taste.
Sugar Texture - Because we aren't baking the dough, the sugar crystals will come through in the texture. If you want a smoother dough, grind the sugar in a spice grinder or blender.
Chill the Dough - I highly recommend chilling the dough so the flours can hydrate and develop flavor. Though you can eat right away if you prefer.
Baking the Dough? - You can certainly try to bake the dough, but without any eggs or leavener, the result will be more like a biscuit than a cookie. Try the gluten free chocolate chip cookies if you are looking for a baked cookie.
Mix-In's - This is a great base recipe to add any mix-in's you like - sprinkles, nuts, different chocolate chips, etc.
Serving Ideas - You can eat the dough right out of the bowl, or roll it into bite-size cookie dough balls.
Dip In Melted Chocolate - Make the cookie dough into candy truffles by rolling into a ball and dipping it in melted chocolate! Similar to the chocolate cake truffles.
