Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 TBSP butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4-1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is key to achieving a chewy cookie texture!
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. You’ll have a thick, doughy texture at this point.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a silicone spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a perfect look, gently press down on the dough balls to flatten them slightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Be careful not to overbake. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem a little soft when you first take them out.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
