Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup melted (and cooled) butter, ghee, or coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without overmixing.
- Shape Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons), dollop 18 portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Use your fingers to flatten each dough ball slightly, as they won’t spread much while baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies have a soft and chewy inside with golden edges for perfect texture.
- Make sure the melted butter or oil is cooled to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with dairy-free or sugar-free options if desired.
- Watch the baking time closely to avoid overbaking for the best chewiness.
