Kids like “zombie” anything.   This cookie is kid friendly because it  limits the sugar and chocolate by using only 2 chocolate chips per cookie.  These cookies are satisfying, and my grandkids are happy with just one cookie.

2 c. blanched almond flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. sea salt
1/4 c. Spectrum shortening
1/4 c. agave
1 T. vanilla
1/4 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a food processor, pulse together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.  Add shortening, agave and vanilla and pulse until thoroughly combined.

Use a 1 T. scoop and place dough in rounds on prepared pans.  Leave 2″ between cookies.   Flatten slightly and push until slightly oval.  Push 2 chocolate chips into cookies, pointed side down, to resemble 2 eyes.

Bake for 7-9 minutes until golden brown.  Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets.  Place cookies in freezer. Once frozen, store them in a large ziploc bag in the freezer, and serve frozen.  Kids love them.
