Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free if needed)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour), cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined.
- Combine Dry & Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread slightly.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake them!
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!: Once cooled, enjoy your gluten-free chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
These cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while being gluten-free. Whether you’re sharing them with friends or enjoying them solo, they’re sure to be a hit!
