Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons water plus more if necessary
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil softened but not melted
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water, and let thicken for 5 minutes.
  3. To the same bowl, add the coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond butter and vanilla. Add the almond flour and sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly over the mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until well combined, adding 1-2 tablespoons water if the mixture is too dry. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Use a spring-loaded cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Press each ball down slightly and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown.
  5. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finishing cooling. Makes about 16 cookies.

Notes

  • Recipe: This recipe is from the Love and Lemons Every Day cookbook.
  • Storage: When the cookies are completely cool, they can be stored in an airtight container or frozen.
  • Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. To reheat frozen cookies, bake in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, or until until warmed through.
  • Or, you can make the dough ahead of time, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. When ready to bake, allow the dough to thaw in the fridge until you’re ready to form and bake the cookies.
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Serving Size: One serving is 2 cookies.

  • Instead of coconut oil, you can use another neutral oil like grapeseed oil or safflower oil. 
  • You can replace coconut sugar with brown sugar.
  • You can substitute almond flour with other gluten-free flours, but I have only tried it with almond flour.
