Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, softened at room temperature
- ½ cup coconut sugar *
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup superfine almond flour packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup rolled oats gluten-free or regular
- ½ cup chocolate chips OR chunks
- ⅓ cup mini pretzels crushed
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, beat the softened butter and coconut sugar on medium-high. Should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Scape the sides with a spatula and add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-low until just combined, for about 20 seconds.
- Add in almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on medium-low until just combined.
- Using a spatula, hand fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scooper or your hand, roll dough into equal-sized balls (2 Tablespoons of dough for each). Make sure to evenly space them out as they will spread a little.
- Gently press a few crushed pretzel pieces into each cookie dough ball. Do not flatten into a patty shape.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the center is still a bit doughy.
- Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, sprinkle with flaky salt, and enjoy the cookies warm!

Notes
- If the dough is too soft, I recommend popping it into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
- * Can substitute coconut sugar with light brown sugar.
- TO STORE: in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 - 4 days.
- FREEZING: freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Simply follow instructions when you are ready to bake them!
