Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The dough is made by combining melted butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla, then mixing in almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Chocolate chips are folded in last. The dough is portioned into small scoops that are flattened manually before baking, as they do not spread much on their own. Baking at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes creates cookies that are golden on the edges but remain soft inside.
The use of almond flour gives a nutty flavor and gluten-free status, while coconut sugar offers a mild caramel note. These cookies are suitable for those avoiding gluten, and their size can be adjusted to make larger cookies by increasing portion size and baking time slightly. The reduced salt amount balances sweetness without overpowering.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled, or ghee or coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl, then stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) dollop 18 cookies on the baking sheet. Use your fingers to flatten the dough into cookie shape, as the cookies will not flatten much on their own while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden on the edges.
Notes
- For larger cookies, make 12 (about 2 tablespoons each) on a single sheet and bake 1–2 minutes longer; expect some spreading and touching.
- The salt amount was reduced to 1/2 teaspoon based on feedback to balance sweetness.
