Ingredients
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to remove clumps.
Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Stir well until a uniform, slightly sticky cookie dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a silicone spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each dough ball slightly with your palm.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges appear golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan before serving.
Notes
Measure almond flour by spooning it into the measuring cup to avoid packing. Let cookies cool entirely on the pan to allow the structure to firm up properly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after baking for extra flavor.
