Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe 

Soft and delicious chocolate chip cookies made with almond flour.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup raw sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups almond flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 1 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or coat lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer, beat together the butter, coconut oil, and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat to combine.
  3. Add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt and beat to combine. Add the almond flour one cup at a time, beating to incorporate between additions. Beat in gluten free flour.
  4. Stir in chocolate.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. For a smoother look, roll dough into balls between your hands first. If dough is too wet to roll, you can stir a little more flour. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until just starting to turn golden and cookies are set. Baking longer will result in a more crisp cookie, while baking for a shorter time will result in a softer cookie.

Notes

If you prefer a crisper, flatter cookie, add one additional egg and reduce the gluten free or coconut flour by half (don't reduce almond flour). A wetter dough will spread and crisp up more. *Vegan Option:

  • replace butter with coconut oil, soft but not completely melted
  • make 2 vegan "eggs" by stirring together 2 tablespoons flax meal and 6 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl
  • use vegan chocolate chips

*Gluten Free Note: Be sure to use gluten free chocolate if you're on a gluten free diet.
