Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a food processor or hand-mixer, mix together coconut oil and coconut sugar until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla extract and mix.
Add in flour, baking soda and salt and continue to mix until smooth batter is formed.
Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.
Scoop onto baking sheet, about 2 tbsp or 1 ice cream scoop per cookie. Leave as is (do not flatten). Cookies will expand during baking so leave enough room around each cookie.
Bake at 350F for 12-minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool on baking sheet.

DID YOU KNOW? Artificial sweeteners may be holding you back from losing excess weight – and could be causing you to gain weight!
Artificial sweeteners affect your food cravings and your ability to manage your body’s signals for hunger and fullness. These sweeteners are very addictive unlike natural sweeteners that leave you feeling more satisfied.
So, if you tend to use artificial sweeteners or refined sugar products like Splenda, agave, aspartame or sugar, I highly recommend replacing these with unrefined natural sweeteners like maple syrup and raw honey.
Unrefined natural sweeteners contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients, antioxidants and enzymes.
Try my chewy Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies with maple syrup. When used in moderation, maple syrup can help to better manage blood sugar, all while creating great tasting recipes.

Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until a thick batter is formed. If adding in chocolate chips, do so after mixing other ingredients.
Give the batter a taste-test and adjust the flavours to your preference (optional).
Scoop batter with a tablespoon and place on baking sheet. Press down the mound with a wet fork to flatten and place one pecan on top.
Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
Allow to cool completely on tray before using a spatula to remove. If you move the cookies too soon them may fall apart (I know this from personal experience).
Serve immediately or store in fridge or freezer for a firmer cookie.
Ferrero Rocher Date Balls are super easy to make with only 3 simple ingredients required! They are soft, chewy & chocolatey + naturally sweetened with dates. They are the perfect healthy snack or treat for those following a paleo or plant-based lifestyle. It’ll be love at first bite!
DID YOU KNOW? Dates have high levels of soluble fiber, which keep bowel movements regular by adding bulk to stool and helping it move faster through the intestines.
If you suffer from constipation, try adding dates into your diet as a natural constipation relief remedy. Consume in moderation.
In addition, dates are packed with vitamins and minerals and are a perfect natural sweetener and sugar alternative. I incorporate them into gut healing smoothies (like my Egg Nog Smoothie & Pumpkin Pie Smoothie) and sweet treats (check out my recipes below).

Notes
How to dry-roast hazelnuts:
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Hazelnuts: Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. You don't need to add any oil or seasoning.
Roast the Hazelnuts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the hazelnuts for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to ensure they roast evenly.
Check for Doneness: The hazelnuts are done when their skins start to crack and they turn a golden brown color. You should also be able to smell their nutty aroma.
Cool and Remove Skins: Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. To remove the skins, place the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together. The skins should come off easily.
