Next add: almond flour, coconut flour & baking soda. Mix well to combine and form a dough. Fold in dark chocolate chunks. You may need to use your hands to bring the dough together so that it sticks.
3. Use a cookie scoop or large tablespoon to drop dough onto ungreased baking sheet. Slightly flatten the dough with your hand. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool! Enjoy!
