Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (about 200g) superfine almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113g) softened butter
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (about 130g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press the tops down slightly for a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If dough is too sticky, chill for 15-20 minutes before scooping. Avoid overmixing to prevent dry, crumbly cookies. Use softened butter, not melted, for better texture. Baking time may vary by oven; start checking at 10 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
