These almond flour chocolate chip cookies are everything you want in a cookie. They're soft, chewy and packed with chocolate chips.
These easy almond flour cookies are delicious - like can't stop eating them delicious. They have crackled tops, golden edges and soft centers.
And although I wouldn't call them healthy chocolate chip cookies, almond flour is packed full of Vitamin E, Manganese and protein which is an awesome bonus.

How to make these chocolate chip cookies:
These cookies are simple and follow the same basic method for most cookie recipes.
- Cream the butter and sugars together.
- Add the egg until fully incorporated. Remember to scrape the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and beat until just incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown and the interior still looks a little underdone. They will set once they come out of the oven.
Tips and tricks for cookie baking perfection:
- In my opinion it's always better to under bake a cookie then overbake one. When I bake cookies I always look for golden brown edges and the center to look a little underdone. If the whole cookie looks ready then it's overbaked.
- The cookies will set on the pan so don't try to take them off directly out of the oven. If you do so the cookies will just fall apart on you. Once cookies set the underdone-looking center will set into a soft and delicious center.
- If you don't want to have to wait to keep putting more cookies in the oven I would recommend baking a couple sheet pans at one time.
- Always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the cookies don't stick to the pan. I have three silpats that I love and use daily.

I have tried various recipes with almond flour and never really liked them. These were delicious. My husband ate seven of these. He loves cookies. Didn’t even tell him what the ingredients were. Thanks so much for all your efforts!
