what you will need
Notes on ingredients
- Blanched Almond Flour– This ingredient is the basis of the biscuits. You can use blanched almond flour or almond flour in a pinch.
- Butter- Use unsalted to control salt levels. Soften it to room temperature.
- Brown sugar– This ingredient sweetens the cookies, but also adds extra moisture.
- vanilla extract For a touch of vanilla flavor to complement the chocolate.
- egg + yolk- These act as binding agents for all the ingredients. They are very important as this recipe contains no gluten to keep things together.
- baking powder– For just a little leaven.
- Salt- Just a little boosts the sweetness of these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips– These give our biscuits a lot of delicious chocolaty flavor.
Add-Ins and Substitutions
- Substitute different chocolate chips- You can also make these with white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or milk chocolate chips.
- add nuts- Try these with chopped and toasted walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, or hazelnuts.
- Make them with gluten- You can use this recipe to make these chocolate chip cookies with all-purpose flour as well. However, the texture will be different.
- add dried fruit- Add some raisins or dried cranberries to these cookies for some tart sweetness.
How to make almond flour chocolate chip cookies
- Cream together the butter and sugar. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer.
- Add vanilla and eggs. Now add the vanilla, egg and yolk. Mix at medium level.
- Sift in the dry ingredients. Using a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl, add the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift them into the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula.
- Add the chocolate chips. Add the chocolate chips and mix everything together.
- Preheat the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scoop out the dough. Scoop out the dough and shape into balls with your hands. Then place them on top of the baking sheet with a few extra chocolate chips for a more appealing look.
- Bake. Bake these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before carefully placing them on a cooling rack.
Pro tip: I like to use a trigger-release cookie scoop to scoop my batter. It keeps them consistent in size and makes this step so easy.
recipe tips
- soften butter- Leave the butter at room temperature until soft but not melted. This helps the cookies spread so they’re soft and chewy rather than round and cakey.
- Only use almond flour You cannot substitute other gluten-free flours, such as coconut flour, as they affect the overall texture and flavor of the cookies.
- Sift the dry ingredients- Almond flour can cake easily, so it’s best to sift it through a fine sieve with the other dry ingredients. This avoids lumps in your cookies.
- let them cool- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes after removing them from the oven. They are very delicate when hot and can fall apart if you put them in a refrigerated section too soon.
frequently asked Questions
Almond flour adds both flavor and texture to the cookies that are not present in all-purpose wheat flour. They are usually dense and chewy with a slightly nutty taste.
Without gluten, which makes baked goods stretchy, almond flour cookies can fall apart. We use egg and yolk to tie everything together so the cookie doesn’t crumble too much.
