Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, mix the melted coconut oil or butter with honey or maple syrup until smooth.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Stir in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (and chopped nuts if using) until evenly distributed.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Flatten Cookies: Lightly press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten them as they will not spread much while baking.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
With these straightforward steps, your delicious Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies will be ready to enjoy!
