Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the almond flour for a smoother cookie texture.

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.

Add Chocolate Chips

Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Bake the Cookies

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center should still appear slightly soft.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
