Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies Recipe
These easy almond flour chocolate cookies are soft, gooey and so indulgent. Made using naturally gluten free almond flour, these are also grain-free and so delicious!
Servings: 8 cookies
Ingredients
- 100 g almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 50 g butter (softened)
- 50 g light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 75 g chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat together with an electric mixer until combined.
- Add the egg and beat again briefly until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, then pour into the egg mixture. Beat again with the mixture until it combines to form a sticky dough.
- Pour in the chocolate chips (reserving a few to top the cookies with) and mix through the dough using a wooden spoon.
- Place the bowl of dough in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / 356F / Gas Mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Once the oven is hot and the dough has chilled, use an ice-cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto the baking trays. Place them a couple of inches apart so they don't spread into each other - you should get around 7-8 cookies.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the reserved chocolate chips then baking for 10-12 minutes until risen and starting to crackle on top. Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes before moving them.
Notes
- TOP TIP: These cookies are pretty soft and gooey (just how I like them!) but it means you have to be a bit careful moving them! Like most cookies, you'll need to be a little patient and wait for them to cool before moving them off the tray - but once cooled they should be firm enough to handle, but still have a lovely soft centre!
- Storing and Freezing: These cookies are best eaten within 24 hours of baking - they will keep longer but may soften a little. Freeze any leftover cookies or freeze the cookie dough balls to bake from frozen.
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
