🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200g) blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil or melted butter
  • ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients
    Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Stir until a soft dough forms.

  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips
    Mix in the chocolate chips (and optional nuts).

  5. Scoop Dough
    Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  6. Bake
    Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden. Cookies will look soft in the center—that's perfect!

  7. Cool
    Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🍪 Tips for Perfect Almond Flour Cookies

  • Use blanched almond flour for smooth, chewy texture.
  • Don’t overbake—cookies continue to set as they cool.

📣 FAQs

Q: Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?
A: It’s not recommended. Almond meal makes the cookies grainier and heavier.

Q: Can I skip the egg?
A: Yes, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) for a vegan version.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Absolutely! Use coconut oil or vegan butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
