Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies
$4.80 Recipe/$0.37 Cookie
Almond flour chocolate cookies are fudgy, soft in the center with crispy edges and so easy to make. All you need is one bowl and about 20 minutes to make these vegan, gluten free, dairy free chocolate cookies.
Check the % of chocolate in your chocolate chips. If you are using a semi-sweet chocolate chip (anything less than 72% chocolate), you will want to use less avocado oil, or the cookies will be oily and disgusting. Reduce the avocado oil to 2 tablespoons for semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Melt the chocolate with the oil. This helps the chocolate melt faster and also makes it easier to stir the chocolate once melted.
Put down parchment paper for easy clean up and easy release of the cookies.
Use a cookie scoop! This helps to ensure the cookies are all even sizes when baking.
Allow room for the cookies to spread. These cookies go on the pan as mounds and will spread out to thinner cookies.
Add extra chocolate chips when needed. Typically, the last 1-2 cookies that I scoop out do not have as many chocolate chips in them as the ones in the beginning so I always add in more chocolate chips at the end when needed. If you want your cookies to look more professional, add 2-3 chocolate chips to the top of the cookies.
How to make these nut freeYou can replace the almond flour with sunflower seed flour or pumpkin seed flour to make these nut free. You can buy sunflower seed flour or pumpkin seed flour online or make it yourself. See details in post on how to make your own.Can you freeze the dough before baking?Yes! You can freeze the dough and bake the cookies at a later time. I recommend scooping out the cookies onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet then freezing that until the dough is frozen solid. Then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months.When you are ready to bake the cookies, place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (remember they will spread) and cook for 15 minutes at 350F.Storing cookies
Fridge: store leftover cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. The cookies harden up a bit and are even better out of the fridge!
Freezer: Freeze cookies in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Be sure to allow the cookies to cool completely before moving to the freezer.
