- Make 2-3 inch balls with the cookie dough. You can pinch and roll the dough with your fingers or use a medium cookie scoop.
- Place on a parchment paper lined large baking sheet or sheet pan.
- Press down on the cookies so that they’re a little flatter. They will expand a bit but you don’t want them to be too thick in the middle or they won’t cook properly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are a golden color with crispy edges.
- Allow the almond flour chocolate chip cookies to cool completely before lifting them off of the parchment paper. They will be super soft. Allowing them to cool will help them hold together perfectly.
Notes
- Make sure the cookies are cool before lifting them: They will be very soft when they're warm but they firm up nicely after a few minutes.
- Try different chocolates: You can use chocolate chips or cut up a bar into chocolate chunks.
- Add in some nuts: Nuts like walnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, or peanuts are great in these cookies!
