Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups super-fine blanched almond flour
- ½ cup pure maple syrup (or ¾ cup coconut sugar for crispier cookies)
- ½ cup virgin coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup. Add the egg and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into wet ingredients until combined.

Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for thick, chewy cookies. Use blanched almond flour (not almond meal) for best texture.
