Chewy 20-Min Almond Flour Double Chocolate Cookies
Prep: 10 minCook: 10 minTotal: 20 min+
Servings: 18 cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1/4 cup for pressing into the tops of the cookies before baking
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blanched almond flour (How to Make Almond Flour)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (Cacao v. Cocoa Powder: What’s the Difference?)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Whisk together until completely smooth.
- Add the coconut sugar and eggs to the bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the blanched almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350F.
- 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.
- Press additional chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- 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.
