Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

½ cup + 1 tablespoon almond flour super fine
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 ½ tablespoons melted coconut oil , not hot
2 teaspoons water
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ tablespoons semi sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add almond flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt into a small bowl and stir well with a spoon to combine.
Tip: Mix well until it is thoroughly combined and lump-free.
Stir in melted coconut oil, water and vanilla extract and mix to form a smooth dough. Mix in 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (save remaining for later).
Form 2 equal balls of dough and press down on the preapared cookie shape, flattening to about ½-inch thickness. Press remaining chocolate chips on top, if needed.
Pro tip: Make it into one big cookie - Shape the dough into one big cookie instead. It produces a soft and chewy middle with crispy edges.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the edges are golden brown in color.
Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top and let cool completely.
Tip: These have no gluten and are much more tender than your regular cookie. So, let cool completely before lifting off the pan.

Notes

Use super fine almond flour and not meal.

Use liquid coconut oil – Melt coconut oil in the microwave until liquid and leave aside until it has cooled to lukewarm, before making dough.

Dark brown sugar – It gives that perfect color and deep molasses taste.
