Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies don’t stick and bake evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Create the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until a soft dough forms, making sure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop cookie dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers to shape them.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an enhanced flavor contrast.
