Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, melt the coconut oil until it becomes liquid. Allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Add honey to the melted coconut oil and whisk together until well combined and slightly emulsified.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a consistent dough forms.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each cookie portion with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a slightly rounded shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to set.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, where they will continue to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your almond flour and coconut oil. This ensures consistency in texture and flavor.
- Melt Coconut Oil Carefully: When melting coconut oil, do it gently to avoid overheating. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before mixing with honey to prevent cooking the honey.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor and help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies while baking. They should be golden brown at the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or different types of dairy-free chocolate chips for a unique twist!
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to let them come to room temperature before enjoying.
