Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and vanilla.
  • Add the coconut flour, almond flour, and salt
  • and mix until combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 3-5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb some of the moisture in the dough. Add the baking soda and mix until combined.
  • Add the egg and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or so to firm up slightly.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out 8 scoops of dough. Use the back of a spoon or the back of the ice cream scoop to flatten the cookies into discs.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until they are slightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly before moving them to a cooling rack with a spatula. These cookies will firm up and become more chewy as they cool. Enjoy them as is or dip them into your favorite dairy-free milk!

Notes

  • I used Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour for this recipe. Every type of coconut flour varies in absorbancy, so keep that in mind when making these cookies.
  • I used 70% dark Enjoy Life chocolate chips. The cookie itself is fairly sweet so the dark chips provide a nice contrast in flavor.
  • ⅛ of a teaspoon of salt is listed, but you can taste the dough prior to adding the egg and add more salt if desired. The salt really makes the cookies a perfect blend of salty and sweet.
  • These cookies will be fairly soft upon coming out of the oven, but firm up as they cool. Transfer them to a cooling rack for even cooling. 
  • We devoured these right away so I can’t say for sure if they’d freeze well, but my guess is that they’d be fine as long as you wrapped them tightly.
  • If you are not dairy-free, you can use regular butter. Use unsalted butter and follow the recipe as written or use salted butter and omit the salt from the recipe.
