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

Getting Started

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dry Ingredients

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

Creaming Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step is important for creating a soft cookie.

Adding Wet Ingredients

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

Combining Wet and Dry

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.

Adding Chocolate Chips

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

Baking the Cookies

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cooling

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly.
