Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 tablespoons solid coconut oil For a rich, buttery texture without the dairy.
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup A natural sweetener that adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients together and provides moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 2 cups almond flour The star ingredient that gives these cookies their unique taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips For that classic chocolate chip goodness. (We recommend Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips for a fully dairy-free option.)

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and develop that golden-brown color we all love.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup a breeze.
  • Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, combine the solid coconut oil, pure maple syrup, egg, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, and fine-grain sea salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  • Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Step 7: Scoop the Dough - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top for added flair if desired.
  • Step 8: Bake - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
  • Step 9: Cool and Enjoy - Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
