• 1 egg

• 250g almond meal

• 1 tsp bicarb soda

4. Add the almond meal and bicarb soda, and blitz to combine.

5. Stir in the chocolate chips and blend briefly to mix.

7. Place the cookies on a baking tray, sesame seed side up, and bake at 160°C for 10 minutes.

8. Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying!
