They bake up soft with crisp edges and are surprisingly easy to make in one bowl. Perfect for when you need a quick, satisfying dessert without the wheat.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
– 2 cups (224g) almond flour
– 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup (55g) packed light brown sugar
– 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
For mixing in:
– 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy—this incorporates air for a softer cookie.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent clumps.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until a dough forms. Tip: Do not overmix, as almond flour can make the dough oily.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft. Tip: They will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Tip: This helps them set without falling apart.
10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Fresh from the oven, these cookies have a tender, slightly crumbly texture with a deep nutty flavor from the almond flour. The chocolate chips add pockets of sweetness that melt beautifully when warm. For a fun twist, serve them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or crumble them over yogurt for breakfast.

6. Scoop 1-tbsp portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern, pressing to about 1/4-inch thickness.
8. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely for 15 minutes before serving.
You’ll love the crisp edges and soft, chewy centers of these cookies. Their vibrant green hue and earthy matcha notes pair wonderfully with a cup of black coffee or as a crumbled topping over keto-friendly ice cream.
