Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt flakes - optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F and line a large cookie baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted oil, maple syrup, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well by hand. Knead it to create a smooth, sticky dough. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop a heaping ball onto the baking sheet ( makes about 12 balls ) Use your fingers to gently flatten and shape the dough balls into the round cookie shapes.
- (These cookies won't expand or spread a lot with baking so you can keep them 1" apart)
- If you like sea salt flakes, sprinkle some on the top. ( optional but highly recommended)
- Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are firm to the touch around the edges, about 12 minutes at 350º F. ( Do NOT overbake)
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. ( this is super important)
- They will firm up more as they cool.
- Serve at room temperature. These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
If it feels too wet, add a few tablespoons of flour at a time until it’s just right. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon or two of almond milk or water.
In case the dough is too wet, the cookies will spread and crumble; if it is too dry the cookies won’t spread enough.
