These Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, moist and chewy, almost like a cross between a muffin and a cookie. They are also packed with healthy ingredients which makes for a more nutritious snack or treat! {Paleo, gluten-free & vegetarian}
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until the mixture is well combined and resembles a thick cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, drop cookie dough onto the parchment paper and pat down gently to smooth surface. Use a fork to press down and flatten cookies slightly (since cookies won't expand while cooking).
Bake for 15 minutes or until outside of cookie is slightly firm and lightly browned. The inside of the cookies will still feel pretty soft but they should firm up slightly as they cool. Allow to cool to room temperature and store in airtight container in fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to a month.
Notes
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan.
Use your hands to combine the cookie dough to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
Since the dough is relatively thick, I find it easier to use your hands to form the cookies and place them on the baking sheet.
The cookies will feel slightly soft when they come out of the oven. Allow the cookies to fully cool for at least half and hour before consuming. This will give the cookies time to firm up.
The cookies will appear a bit dry on the exterior when they first come out of the oven. If you store them in an air-tight container for several hours, the moisture will distribute itself and the cookies will appear more moist.
Store in airtight container in fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to a month.
