Perfectly Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

The best recipe for perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookies!! They’re low carb and gluten free cookies that are so simple to make!!

You guys!! I’ve spent sooo much time thinking about, dreaming about, experimenting, making, and eating chocolate chip cookies. I’ve been wanting that chewy, moist, pull apart, can’t get enough, eat ’em until they’re gone cookie. 

I’ve made these chocolate chip cookies before. But, some of you have had trouble getting them right and from what I gather, it seems like the recipe is super sensitive to heat and humidity. 

Welp, I’ve solved our problems and made a NEW chocolate chip cookie recipe that is hands down, my favorite cookie recipe ever. I’m talking, of all the cookies I’ve tried in my lifetime, THIS RECIPE, this lower carb and gluten free recipe is my fave. Bam. I said it. It’s a ballsy statement, but I said it. Hands down, you guys, this is my favorite cookie recipe eva eva!!

I need you guys to try it. I seriously want to make a batch every week because dayyyuum, it’s that good. Plus I have some high hopes for cookie cake, cookie pizza, cookie bowls, um basically everything will be made from this cookie dough base from here on out. It’s SO GOOD, you guys!! 

I know I’ve been on a dessert bender, but there are some seriously delicious savory meals coming your way and, as always, if you have any recipes (specific or general) that you want to see on the blog, don’t hesitate to holla at me. 

Mix together the ghee, vanilla, and coconut sugar. Add the egg and continue to mix until completely creamed together. I used a food processor, but you can also use a handheld mixer or a standing mixer! 

Add in the almond flour (cashew flour works too), baking soda, and sea salt. Process again until completely combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill for about 30 minutes. 

Preheat the oven and scoop the batter out onto a lined baking sheet. I just got a brand new cookie dough scooper which is basically a small ice cream scooper. I lovvvve it. But, if you want giant cookies, by all means use an ice cream scooper!
