Almond Flour Cookies
These EASY almond flour cookies with chocolate chips are soft, chewy, and super simple to make in just one bowl with 5 ingredients. Naturally grain-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan!
Servings 6 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100 g) almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 Tbsp (40 g) date sugar (or sugar of choice)
- 1/4 cup (64 g) almond butter softened (see notes)
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/4 cup (45 g) dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Please measure all ingredients in grams (use my written measurements) on a kitchen scale, if possible. Also, watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions.
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Then, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and sugar in a medium bowl (or a food processor) until there are no lumps.
- Add the almond butter (or nut/seed butter of your choice) and mix well. If the dough is dry, which it likely will be, add a tablespoon of water and mix again.If it’s still too dry, add more water, a teaspoon at a time, mixing thoroughly in between.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top, then use a small ice cream or cookie scoop or tablespoon to divide the dough into 6 cookies.
- Spread the cookies across the prepared baking sheet with space in between, using your fingers to flatten them gently, and press the reserved chocolate chips into the top.
- Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes until they’re lightly browning on the edges. They will be soft right out of the oven, but firm up as they cool. Leave them to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Sugar: Use a refined sugar-free sweetener like date or coconut sugar or cane sugar if preferred.
- Make keto cookies: Use a sugar-free sweetener like Erythritol and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Almond butter: You can use any other nut butter (like peanut butter, hazelnut butter) or seed butter (e.g. sunflower seed butter).
- The recipe makes only a small batch of 6 cookies. You can double (2x) or triple (3x) the recipe, if you like.
