Ingredients and substitutions:

• Almond flour – this gives this cookie dough the perfect texture and naturally sweet flavour. You could swap this for cashew flour instead. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal as almond meal is too gritty.
• Coconut flour - this is used to add just a bit more texture and sweet taste to this cookie dough. I don’t recommend trying to swap this with any other flours. 
• Maple syrup – this natural sweetener adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this cookie dough while keeping it refined sugar free.
• Coconut milk – this helps add moisture and a delicious, rich flavour to this easy gluten-free cookie dough. You could swap this for milk or another dairy free milk of your choice such as cashew milk or almond milk. If using coconut milk I recommend using full fat coconut milk for the best flavour and texture.
• Coconut oil - to give this dough even more moisture so that it doesn't turn out dry or crumbly.
• Chocolate chips – dark chocolate chips are used to make the best edible chocolate chip cookie dough! To keep this recipe refined sugar free choose chocolate chips sweetened with coconut sugar. If you are vegan be sure to use vegan chocolate chips. If you are dairy free use dairy free chocolate chips. 
• Vanilla extract - this helps enhance the delicious flavour of this cookie dough. 
• Sea salt - just a pinch is all you need to help contrast perfectly with the delicious chocolate taste.
