- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg to the wet mixture and whisk until well blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls (about 1-1.5 inches in diameter).
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Optionally, press down on each cookie ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching closely.
- Remove when edges are golden brown and centers are set but slightly soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 months.
- To enjoy frozen cookies, thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
