These chewy almond flour chocolate chip cookies are a simple, gluten-free treat with a nutty flavor and gooey chocolate chips. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, they offer a soft center with crisp edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (about 192g), finely ground
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch (16g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (2.5g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (1.5g), plus a pinch of flaky sea salt for sprinkling
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter (76g), softened
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5ml)
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (130g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form dough balls about 1.5 inches wide and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Adding an extra egg yolk can increase moisture. Flaky sea salt on top enhances flavor. Store in airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
