I know I may be biased, but when it comes to a healthy cookie, these are the best almond flour chocolate chip cookies ever! It’s important to me that I always keep it real with you guys on here. These aren’t the BEST chocolate chip cookies you will ever have. If you are looking for a sugary, buttery, floury vegan cookie, this isn’t the one for you. But I will tell you that if a butter-loaded cookie was sitting right next to these almond flour cookies, I would pick the almond flour cookies every time. Honestly, you can’t beat this deliciousness that’s completely free from dairy, eggs, gluten, grains, oil, and refined sugar. If you are looking for a guilt-free cookie that won’t make you feel bloated and lethargic, these fluffy almond flour chocolate chip cookies are for you.
Helpful tips for the best almond flour chocolate chip cookies:
- Invest in a silicone mat. For the best oil-free cooking, I highly recommend investing in a silicone baking mat to go on top of your baking sheet. The silicone mat prevents any sticking, achieves a crispy bottom without flipping, and eliminates the sogginess caused by parchment paper. I highly recommend buying one for the easiest oil-free cooking and baking.
- Flatten the cookies. These cookies won’t spread flat by themselves so you will need to use your finger or the back of a spoon to lightly press the cookies into a flatter, more circular shape. How much you feel like shaping them is up to you as it will only affect the appearance of the cookies.
- Serve the same day as they are baked. These cookies will get very soft after sitting. They are still delicious, but I recommend baking them the same day you plan on serving them.
Baking essentials:
- Baking sheet
- Silicone mat: a silicone mat is highly recommended for any oil-free baking. The silicone mat will help you achieve a crispy bottom and no sticking without the use of oil. For this recipe, parchment paper will also work.
- Mixing bowl
Substitutions:
- Almond flour + coconut flour: I have not attempted any other flours so I can’t attest to how they would work. The combination of almond flour and coconut flour is important, so I don’t recommend substituting with other flours.
- Pure maple syrup: substitute with equal parts agave nectar or date syrup.
- Coconut cream: substitute with equal parts extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or refined coconut oil.
