🔪 Instructions
Grab a mixing bowl and start adding ingredients, then drop these cookies onto your baking sheet for a sweet treat. These almond flour chocolate chip cookies really are pretty much as quick and easy as that, another reason to just love them!
Allow these cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet after baking, but we can't wait to enjoy them too long so that's usually only about 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips: almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, almond and vanilla extracts (or use 1 teaspoon either almond or vanilla extract), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add chocolate chips and stir to combine until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
- Drop the cookie dough in heaping teaspoonfuls onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until nicely browned around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet as cookies will be crumbly while warm.

Hi There- are these cookies soft or crunchy?
Thanks!
Angela Latimer says
They're a bit crunchy, but if you underbake them slightly you will get crisp edges with a softer cookie.
Mamma On the Go says
I appreciate the note to let the cookies cool before handling them. Cookie had a nice texture and not crunchy, I thought it was a little salty for my taste, so will either omit the salt or reduce to half the amt. I was impressed there was no egg, refined sugar and dairy free . The coconut oil made it taste faintly like a Mounds candy bar (coconut w/dark chocolate)
It’s a keeper!!
Lisa says
Hello! These are very good!! I've made them twice and they satisfy that sweet I crave each evening. It doesn't say how many cookies are considered a serving.....please tell me it's 2?! 🙂 Seriously, I would like to know since I am trying to stay within a certain amount of carbs/sugar each day.
Thank you!!
