Every household should have a couple of go-to cookie recipes one can whip up when the need strikes. For us, it’s these almond flour chocolate chip cookies. They are perfectly sweet and tasty, simple, and relatively healthy. Which with two little ones is something I like to take into consideration more times than not when baking.

I make these almond flour chocolate chip cookies often, but most recently was for my son’s birthday. They were the first dessert to go! That’s right. The healthier option, which was low carb with almond flour and less sugar, was the dessert that ot eaten first. And we had lots of good stuff. Rice crispy squares, cookies, and cupcakes with all the sugar and flour. Pretty sure that means these are darn good.
The ingredients are pretty simple too. Almond flour, I like geting mine from Costco, egg, butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and chocolate chips. I find the mini chocolate chips are better but regular ones work too. I have no issues with regular flours and sugars, and bake with them too, but it’s always nice to have some healthier options that are still just as delicious.

Tips for the Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
- These cookies are delicious fresh out of the oven, but if you need to store them, they should go in the fridge.
- Let the butter cool before mixing. Room temperature egg works best too.
- I use maple syrup but in a pinch, you can use regular sugar.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Whisk the dry ingredients, the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Stir in the wet ingredients. Then stir in the chocolate chips
- If you can refrigerate for about 10 minutes, do that. Then spoon out into 12 cookies. You can skip straight to spooning out the dough if you can't refrigerate. Cook 10-12 minutes until the edges start to brown.
- Leave on the baking sheet for a few minutes after removing them from the oven. Then move to a wire rack to cool. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a covered dish.
