Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1 tsp baking soda substitute (Ener-G brand is sodium free!)

1/8 cup olive oil

1/8 cup maple syrup (NOW foods brand; zero sodium)

1/4 cup sour cream (30 mg total; make sure your sour cream has 15 mg per two tablespoons or recalculate this total)

1 Neat brand egg (no sodium)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I like Ghiradelli 72% dark chocolate chips; no sodium)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all of the above ingredients together and drop by tablespoon onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Smooth tops of cookies if you wish, but I prefer mine naturally shaped. Bake for 15-20 minutes until just golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

Makes 12-14 cookies, depending on size. There is less than 5 mg of sodium per cookie.
