Ingredients
Units
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (can sub brown sugar)
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the almond flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and coconut sugar with a handheld mixer for 2-3 minutes. (You can also use a stand mixer.)
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and cream together for another 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Pour the almond flour mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients and gently mix together with a spatula until everything is combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Use a cookie scoop (approx 1.5 tablespoons) to scoop out even cookies onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Use your hands and gently press down on each cookie to slightly flatten.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool before eating.
Notes
- Use finely ground almond flour for the best texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar well to create soft, chewy centres.
- Don’t overmix once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
- If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 15–20 minutes before baking.
- Let cookies cool completely so they firm up and don’t break.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving for a sweet and salty combo!
