Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Almond flour - Like all almond flour dessert recipes, it makes it rich, nutty, moist, and healthier.
- Brown sugar - You can use light, golden, or dark brown sugar, but I personally prefer dark brown sugar for its rich, deep butterscotch flavor.
- Fat - Use liquid coconut oil or melted unsalted butter, but be sure it's cooled slightly and not hot.
- Chocolate chips - Splurge on a good quality semi-sweet chips if possible. I love to use Ghiradelli or Guittard.
Substitutions / Variations
- Not a fan of coconut oil? Use melted unsalted butter instead.
- Substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar. While I prefer brown sugar for its ideal texture and moisture, coconut sugar will still work wonderfully. Just keep in mind that the result will be crispier and less chewy.
- Switch up the add-ins. Use chopped M&Ms, white chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped walnuts, or chopped salted pretzels along with chips.
