Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies
www.theconsciousplantkitchen.comThese Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies are soft chocolate cookies with crispy edges and a delicious chocolate almond flavor. You won't believe that these are healthy chocolate cookies, gluten-free and dairy-free.
Servings: 8 cookies (1 1/2 tablespoons each)
Calories: 240.5kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¼ cup Coconut Sugar
- ⅓ cup Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil melted, cooled
- ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Oil with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir melted, lukewarm coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Add in almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Stir to incorporate and fold in dark chocolate chips halfway. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball with grease hands.
- Release the cookie dough ball on the baking sheet, and lightly press the top to flatten - they won't expand in the oven.
- Repeat, leaving a thumb space between each almond flour cookie.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until set on top and edges but still soft in the middle.
- Transfer immediately to a cooling rack and cool at room temperature.
Notes
Allergy Swaps
- Coconut-Free - Replace the coconut sugar with brown sugar and coconut oil with plant-based butter.
- Oil-Free - I didn't try replacing oil in this recipe. Mashed banana or applesauce might work, providing a different texture.
Storage
Store the cookies in a cookie jar in the fridge for up to one week or freeze them in an airtight container for up to one month.Nutrition
