If you love homemade cookies but want a gluten-free or low-carb treat, these gluten-free almond flour chocolate chip cookies are a dream come true. They’re soft, chewy, and slightly crisp on the edges — just like classic bakery-style cookies, but made with almond flour instead of wheat. Perfect for anyone following a gluten-free, grain-free, or low-carb lifestyle, these cookies taste rich, nutty, and sweet, all without using refined flour.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour (finely ground)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven.
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Mix dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This helps the cookies bake evenly. - Combine wet ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter (or coconut oil), brown sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. - Combine wet and dry mixtures.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until a thick cookie dough forms. - Add chocolate chips.
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using). The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle. - Form cookie balls.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and roll into small balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking tray. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon. - Bake.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. - Cool completely.
Let cookies rest on the baking tray for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool fully. This helps them firm up while staying soft inside.
Serving Ideas
- Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or almond milk.
- Crumble over yogurt or ice cream for a sweet topping.
- Pack them as a gluten-free snack for school or work.
