Desiré's Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

These cookies, also gluten free, are another favorite of Desiré. The ingredients, almond flour & dark chocolate are healthful as they contain anti-oxidants and cholesterol lowering properties. The recipe yields 24 cookies. The original recipes were obtained from, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook: Breakfasts, Entré's and More.

Desiré has made some changes to the recipe. So consider her tip. She uses a little less of the agave nectar and grape seed oil. In addition she adds about ¼ cup of all purpose flour to make up the full amount of flour, otherwise the mix is a bit too soft.

The recipe follows:
