It’s time for summer fruit to take center stage... Cherries!

These little cookies are so tasty, they won’t last a day! Luckily since they are low in sugar so you can have more than one.

· 1 ½ Tbs. grass-fed Ghee (or increase Coconut Oil to 3 ½ Tbs.)
· 2 Tbs. Coconut Oil
· 1/4 c. Pure Maple Syrup or raw Honey
· 1 hi-Omega3 organic Egg
· ¼ tsp. pure Vanilla Extract
· ¼ tsp. pure organic Cherry Extract
· 1 c. + 2 Tbs. blanched Almond Flour
· 1/3 c. Sorghum or Coconut Flour
· 2 Tbs. Flax Seeds, freshly ground (opt.)
· 1 tsp. Xanthan Gum
· Pinch of Sea Salt
· ¼ c. organic mini Dark Chocolate Chips, or chopped 80% dark Chocolate Bar
· 3 Tbs. fresh organic Cherries, chopped

Preheat oven to 325°.

Line baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.

In bowl of a standing mixer (or use hand mixer) whip the butter, coconut oil, syrup/honey, and egg until frothy. Add extracts.

Continue beating on low and add flours, flax, xanthan gum, and salt. Beat on medium until well mixed. Remove bowl from stand and stir in chocolate chips and cherries.

Dampen your hands slightly and roll dough into 12 – 14 balls and place on cookie sheet 2” apart. Press down with tines of a fork in crisscross pattern to 2/3” thickness.

Bake for 14 – 15 minutes. Allow to cool on wire rack. Cookies are delightfully chewy.
