Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup (150 g) butter, salted or unsalted, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups (265 g) almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup (125 g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large cookie sheets with baking paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. This will create a smooth base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Mix well and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed. This ensures consistent texture and proper rising of the cookies.
  5. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and blend on low speed until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips gently with a spoon or rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Shape the cookies: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets approximately 2 inches apart to allow space for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes. At 10 minutes, cookies will appear slightly underbaked but will finish cooking as they cool. For chewier cookies, 10 minutes is ideal; for crisper edges, bake for 11 minutes.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them onto a wire cooling rack. The cookies will puff up right out of the oven and then deflate as they cool, becoming easier to handle.
  9. Enjoy: Serve these delightful almond flour chocolate chip cookies fresh or store them for later indulgence.

Notes

  • Use almond flour rather than almond meal for a finer texture.
  • Room temperature butter helps achieve smooth creaming with the sugars.
  • Adjust baking time slightly for texture preferences: less for softer cookies, more for crispier.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit for variation.
