    Cup of Yum

  4. Cover the cookie dough with saran wrap or a lid and transfer to the fridge for 30-minutes. 
PREP OVEN AND BAKING SHEET:

  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
SCOOP AND BAKE COOKIES:
  1. Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and scoop out the dough creating 12 cookie dough mounds. Space each one about 1-2 inches apart, giving each one plenty of room to expand. 
  2. Bake at 325 ° F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
TO FINISH:

  2. Cool the cookies for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don't like peanut butter? Use almond, cashew, or pecan butter instead. 
  • Don't have chocolate chips? Leave them out. 
  • To store: Do not stack the almond flour cookies on top of each other because they will stick to each other. Instead, place the cookies on a flat surface and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. The cookies taste amazing from the refrigerator and still have a nice soft, chewy texture.
