Soft-Baked Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

These bendy melt-in-your-mouth gems are an incredible gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-carb alternative to traditional chocolate chip cookies.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons solid coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups almond flour or almond meal (I have used both with success)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
• 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips + more for topping if desired (we like Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
2. Add the coconut oil and the pure maple syrup to a large bowl. If the oil is very hard, microwave for a few seconds until soft but not melted. Stir briskly with a whisk until the syrup and oil are mixed together – this may take a minute or two. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk together until combined.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
