These chewy almond flour chocolate chip cookies offer a perfect balance of soft and chewy texture with rich chocolate chips, making them a delicious gluten-free treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) finely ground, blanched almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (75g) melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter as a substitute)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. In a large bowl, beat melted coconut oil with brown sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft, sticky dough forms. Add about 1 tablespoon almond milk if dough is too crumbly.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and optional toasted almonds gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Wet hands slightly to help shape the dough balls.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better binding. Measure almond flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dense cookies. Use fresh baking soda for proper rise. Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too much. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Watch oven closely after 8 minutes to prevent overbaking.
