Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of coconut flour, 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil. Stir the mixture until a dough forms. If the dough seems too crumbly, you can add a tablespoon of water or milk to help it come together.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious gluten-free cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent dough.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine ingredients to prevent a tough cookie texture. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for consistent cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- Customize Your Cookies: Feel free to swap chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruit, or use different types of chocolate for variety.
- Check Oven Temperature: Every oven is slightly different, so keep an eye on cookies during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.
