Description

These Almond Flour Cookies offer a healthier twist on a classic treat, featuring gluten-free and paleo-friendly ingredients like almond flour and coconut oil. Sweetened naturally with pure maple syrup and optionally studded with dark chocolate chips, these cookies are perfect for those seeking a delicious, dairy-free dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted and cooled coconut oil with pure maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Form the dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips if desired for added flavor and texture.
  5. Shape cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough portions and roll them into balls. Place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers to form cookie shapes.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating that the cookies are cooked through.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up perfectly.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey for the maple syrup if preferred for sweetness variation.
  • Using mini chocolate chips can help distribute chocolate more evenly throughout each cookie.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
