Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until well incorporated and free of any lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix and break the raspberries.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your palm, as almond flour cookies do not spread much during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make your cookies dense and tough.
- Use fresh, plump raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra crispiness, flatten cookies more before baking.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow them to set properly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- If the dough seems too wet, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before shaping cookies.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg or applesauce.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts or different types of chocolate for variety.
