Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup melted (and cooled) butter, ghee, or coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda to the bowl with wet ingredients, then stir until just combined to form a cookie dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons), place 18 cookie dough portions evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each dough portion slightly with your fingers since the dough won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden, indicating they are done.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
Notes
- These cookies have a soft, chewy texture inside with crisp, golden edges.
- Use almond flour to keep the cookies gluten-free while maintaining a tender crumb.
- Flatten the dough balls with your fingers before baking as the cookies don’t spread much on their own.
- You can substitute butter with ghee or coconut oil as preferred.
- Watch a video tutorial for visual guidance on preparing these cookies.
