These delicious cookies are blissful for the senses, as they have an amazing nutty flavor and a perfect crunch and softness. They can be modified to suit your taste palate.

How to make Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
You can easily make almond flour cookies at home with a few easily accessible ingredients. These cookies can be stored for approximately five days at room temperature. After allowing them to cool fully, put them in a container that is airtight.
After they bake, you can freeze them nicely for up to two months. Simply allow them to cool fully before shifting them to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat to 300 degrees until the center is heated.
Let’s gather the ingredients and jump into the recipe!
Ingredients
- Softened butter, dairy-free = 7 tablespoons
- Light brown sugar or coconut sugar = ⅔ cup
- Large egg = 1
- Vanilla extract = 2 teaspoons
- Blanched almond flour, not meal = 2 cups
- Cornstarch = 1 tablespoon
- Baking soda = ½ teaspoon
- Sea salt = ½ teaspoon
- Chocolate chips = ⅔ cup
Instructions for Making Almond flour chocolate chip cookies
Step 1
Simply microwave the butter for fifteen seconds to soften if it is refrigerated. Then put it into the bowl of a stand mixer.
Step 2
Utilizing an electric mixer, whip the butter and sugar mixture until they’re completely mixed for about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until the egg is well combined.
Step 4
Make sure to level and spoon the flour into a measuring cup rather than dumping it straight out of the bag before whisking in the remaining ingredients, excluding the chocolate chips.
Step 5
Beat everything until well blended.
Step 6
Using a wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips until the chips are evenly scattered.
Step 7
Chill the dough for an average of 20 minutes. By following this, you will be sure the cookies won’t bake flat. For making cookies, the butter’s temperature counts a lot!
Step 8
Wait for that and heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 9
After 20 minutes, scoop a medium cookie scoop or a portion of the cookie dough into a ball, between the size of 1 1/2 tablespoons; do not press them down.
Step 10
Bake for 13 to 18 minutes. 15 minutes work well for soft centers with a crispiness around the edges.
Step 11
Take it out of the oven, allow it to cool for fifteen minutes in its initial state, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Variations
Corn starch/Arrowroot
You can replace the corn starch with arrowroot powder or tapioca.
Chocolate chips
You can use a wide range of chocolate chips, ranging from dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or even mixed chocolate chips, depending on your flavor choice.
Coffee powder
Just add a little coffee powder with the dry ingredients. It will enhance the flavor of your dough.
Ghee/coconut oil
You can even use ghee or coconut oil instead of butter
Maple syrup/honey
Sugar may easily be replaced by maple syrup or honey.
Recipe Tips
- Avoid using too much butter in the cookies, as they will not rise much due to excessive amounts of butter.
- Consider chilling the dough as it prevents the cookies from spreading.
- Overmixing can make the dough hard; stop mixing it once it is done.
- Add a few tablespoons of milk or oil if the dough appears crumbly because almond flour absorbs the moisture.
- Experience with different types of butter and chocolate chips to create your desired taste.
- The cookies will be super soft to handle as they are taken out of the oven but become firm after about 10 minutes.
- Using brown/white sugar instead of any syrup or honey will give a crunchy exterior to your cookies.
- The addition of mashed bananas in the dough could act as a natural sweetener.
