Delicious Paleo and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that are perfectly soft and chewy! A healthy twist on a classic favorite, made with wholesome ingredients
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted (or ghee)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips dairy-free if preferred
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts e.g., walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with your hands.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
