Almond Flour Cookies are naturally gluten-free, and taste just as good as the original! Made with nourishing ingredients, this has become my family's go-to cookie recipe.

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter , softened
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups blanched almond flour
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. (This recipe makes 24 cookies, so you'll need to bake in 2 batches on 1 pan, or use 2 pans to bake them all at once.) In a large bowl, combine the butter and coconut sugar, and mix well.
Add in the egg and vanilla, and mix again. Then add in the salt, baking soda, and almond flour. Stir until a thick batter is formed.
Fold in the chocolate chips, then scoop the dough using a tablespoon or 1-ounce cookie scoop. Drop the dough onto the lined baking sheet, then bake at 350ºF for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies spread and the edges look lightly golden. Let the cookies cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes on the pan before trying to eat one warm, so they will firm up a bit.
These cookies have the best texture at room temperature the same day you bake them. If you need to store them, don't keep them at room temp, because they will soften over time. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. They are even crispier when they are cold!

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 24 cookies. This is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

If you prefer to make a dairy-free cookie, try using a 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil instead. For zero coconut flavor, use a refined or expeller-pressed coconut oil, rather than a virgin or unrefined coconut oil.

Check out Vegan Almond Flour Cookies if you need an egg-free & dairy-free cookie recipe. (That one is sweetened with maple syrup, too!)
