Ingredients
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- First, add cold butter and coconut sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in vanilla and eggs. Stir to combine.
- Add in almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until cookie dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- After chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of cookie dough onto lined pan.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Edges should be slightly golden and the middles should look slightly gooey.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes. Very carefully transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Fully mix butter and coconut sugar. This takes my stand mixer 2 to 3 minutes. Mix until uniform and no clumps of butter remain.
- The cookie dough will be slightly sticky before chilling.
- Do not skip the dough chilling step. It is mandatory.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop dough. This creates evenly sized, round cookies.
- Do not over bake cookies. Bake until edges are slightly golden. They will slightly firm up as they cool.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. They remain soft.
- For firmer cookies, store in the fridge.
- Freeze for up to 1 month.
