    4. In another small bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar. Add to wet ingredients and stir to blend.
    5. Add choc chips and stir to mix. Let dough cool within the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes (or maybe more, don‘t skip this!).
    6. For regular sized cookies, make 1″ balls of dough and set on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly and bake for 8-9 minutes.
