Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

*Makes 6 large cookies

On the run, last minute or little time, here is an easy 6 ingredient & 1 bowl recipe, sweetened with maple syrup and ready in 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of almond flour
  • ⅓ cup of pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup of coconut oil, melted + enough to oil the parchment paper
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ cup of dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir almond flour, baking powder, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Add vanilla extract and salt. 
  • Stir with a rubber spatula until the dough forms.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and stir until well incorporated.
  • With a 2 inch scooper, scoop 6 equal parts onto the tray. Flatten them with the bottom of a class or a spatula because they will not spread while baking.
  • Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Wait until they turn golden brown on the edges.
  • Let them cool them down

Storage

Store the cookies at room temperature for up to 4 days in an airtight container. You can freeze the cookies in freezer bags. Thaw them at room temperature the day before. This is helpful should you want to double or triple the recipe.

Enjoy 🙂
