Method
Preheat your oven to 175ºC and line a tray with baking paper
In a large bowl combine blanched almond meal, baking soda, tapioca starch, buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, and salt then mix well
In a separate smaller bowl, combine egg, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and maple syrup then whisk together well
Pour the wet mixture into the larger bowl and fold it into the dry ingredients
Roughly crush walnuts in a mortar and pestle, then add walnuts and choc chips to the batter. Gently fold together
Your batter will be very sticky. This is ok and creates a delicious, chewy cookie! Sprinkle a few tablespoons of buckwheat flour onto your kitchen counter or a plate for you to dust your hands with before rolling each cookie. Lightly press your hands into the flour, then scoop out a tablespoon portion of the batter and roll in between your palms. Place the ball onto your baking paper and gently press down on it until it is a 1cm-thick disk. Continue this process until you have 11 disks
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and enjoy warm or allow to cool. Enjoy and snack on throughout the week!
