Author:Soft, chewy, dense and buttery Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies that can be mixed up, baked, and ready to eat in under 25 minutes!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (64 grams) natural nut or seed butter , it should be drippy and not hard & dry
- 6 tablespoons (90 ml) dairy-free milk
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (192 grams) almond flour , spooned & levelled, NOT scooped into the cup
- ½ cup (100 grams) cane sugar or granulated white sugar , see FAQs for alternative
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (87 grams) dairy-free chocolate chips , plus a few more for decorating the tops
Optional (but recommended)
- good quality flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top (not table salt)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the nut butter, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk together until combined. Be sure to scrape the whisk off well when you remove it from the bowl, so that you don't waste any.
- Add the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to the bowl and mix really well with a wooden spoon or spatula until you can't see any dry flour and it forms a thick cookie dough. Then add the chocolate chips and fold them through.
- Roll into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on the baking tray with about 2 inches free space between each one.
- With slightly damp fingers (dip them in a cup of water and shake them off) press the top of each ball down to flatten it so it's about half an inch thick. The water stop your fingers sticking to the dough.
- Stick a few extra chocolate chips in the top of each one and sprinkle with optional flaky sea salt, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring carefully to a cooling rack. It is normal for them to be really soft while hot but they firm up as they cool.
- Once completely cool store in an airtight container.
