DARK CHOCOLATE SUNBUTTER SHORTBREAD

Getting in the holiday mood and baking batches upon batches of cookies.  Started the day off with shortbread, one of my favorites.  

Traditionally, shortbread cookies are made with sugar, lots of butter and flour. This recipe is actually missing all of those ingredients, but in my opinion still has that wonderful shortbread texture with the added bonus of chocolate and Sunbutter. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 c almond flour
• 1/4 c coconut flour, sifted
• 1 large egg, whisked
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (the real stuff)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp sea salt 
• 1/4 c coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate or Enjoy chocolate chips
• 3 tbsp Sunbutter
