Ingredients


1 1/2 cup Teff flour (a gluten-free grain flour) (or use 1/2 wheat flour & 1/2 white flour)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (or more)
1 tsp Baking soda (aluminum free, please)
1 cup Almond butter (or nut butter or seed butter of your choice)
3/4 cup Maple syrup, pure (or raw honey)
2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure (optional)
1/2 cup Pecans (or walnuts or any nut of your choice)
1/2 cup Coconut flakes, unsweetened (optional)
1/2 cup Cacao Chips, unsweetened, Pascha 100% (or chocolate chips of your choice)
1/4 cup Water, filtered (or a tad more or less)

Instructions


Preheat oven to 350F

Get two mixing bowls, one for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients.

In the dry ingredients bowl mix: sift flour, sea salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.

In the wet ingredients bowl mix: maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract.

Mix until smooth and well blended.

Add the wet ingredients bowl to the dry ingredients bowl and mix until well incorporated.

Next, add the pecans (a mix of nuts), coconut flakes and cacao chips.
Last, add some water, usually about 1/4 of a cup (or a tad less or more) until the batter is not too dry or too wet.  

It should be a tad drier than a traditional chocolate chip cookie batter.

Cover a pyrex baking dish (or a cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
Place the batter in the baking dish and spread or push it out so it is even.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until lightly browned.
Take it out of the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Remove the entire batch by grabbing the parchment paper and quickly moving it to a flat surface.

Use a long chopping knife to cut them into squares.  
Let it cool for another 5 minutes and then enjoy!

Makes about 20 mookies.

Why are they called mookies and not cookies?
My teenage son insists that they are not cookies since they are soft like a muffin and I insist they are cookies since they are loaded with chocolate chips and I eat it like a cookie.
So to settle this I started calling them mookies.
