A chewy, nutty, and utterly satisfying almond flour chocolate chip cookie recipe that is gluten-free, quick, and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) finely ground almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup (135g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet and dark mix recommended)
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped toasted almonds gently.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons (30g) of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish setting.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, chill for 15-20 minutes before baking. Do not overbake to maintain chewiness. Use finely ground almond flour for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Adding a slice of bread to the storage container helps keep cookies moist.
