baking powder
salt
flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top

How to make chocolate brownie cookies:

Melt. First, melt the butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl and whisk together until completely smooth. Check out my tutorial for How to Melt Chocolate Chips!

Add the rest of the ingredients. Add the coconut sugar and eggs to the bowl and whisk until combined. Then, add the blanched almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk again until combined.

Chill then bake. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use two tablespoons to drop a ball of dough onto the sheet.

I fit 6 – 8 cookies per batch. The dough is sticky, so using spoons or a cookie dough scooper is the best bet to get a round mound. Bake for 10 minutes.

Cool on the pan. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to sit for 15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. I sprinkled my cookies with flaked sea salt while they were sitting on the baking sheet but this is optional if you don’t want to add the salt on top.
