Almond Flour Cookies
Almond flour cookies that are as light as air! If you love soft and cakey cookies, these almond flour chocolate chip cookies are exactly what you’ve been looking for. The first time I tried these cookies, I knew they were special. Our family friend, Biju aunty, who is an incredible cook and baker, made these cookies for us and I just couldn’t believe how good they were! They were rich, buttery, soft, and delicate – a nice change from a crispy chewy cookie (though those are also delicious!). Biju aunty sent me her recipe, and ever since, I’ve made it so many times, baking and sharing cookies with friends and neighbors. Everyone who has tried this cookie has loved it! One friend even took a plate of cookies to share with her co-workers, and they all loved the recipe too! This is the perfect quick cookie recipe. One that’s sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
Almond Flour Cookie Ingredients:
Almond Flour: make sure to use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. I typically buy almond flour from Costco but you can find it on amazon as well. Butter or Ghee: both work, but if you want a paleo cookie, you can use ghee. Sweetener: you can use sugar or coconut sugar in this recipe. Baking Powder AND Baking Soda: the combination is what makes this an airy and light cookie. The baking powder helps to create lift, not chew – if you skip the baking powder, you will end up with a denser cookie (still delicious, but I prefer using both in this recipe).EggsVanilla ExtractChocolate Chips: use chocolate and/or white chocolate chips!Flaky Sea Salt: a must! Sprinkle some flaky salt on top of each cookie – the combination of sweet and salty is divine.
How to make cookies with almond flour
Easy! Mix the dry ingredients together. Then mix the wet ingredients together, and add the dry and gently combine. Use a cookie scoop to move the batter from the bowl onto a silicone mat or parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cookies 2-inches apart (they won’t spread very much) and bake!
Almond Flour Cookie Variations
Feel free to play around with additions to make these cookies your own! My 4-year-old thought these cookies were lacking sprinkles, and I have to say, sprinkles do make everything taste better and look prettier too! You can also try mixing in different nuts, chocolate candies, raisins or other dried fruit.
