Here’s a twist on the traditional Chocolate Chip Cookie that skips the all purpose flour, instead uses almond flour. Perfect if you are looking for a gluten free, grain free, lower carb option for a holiday treat (or anytime, really). You can substitute a crushed peppermint stick ¼ cup of the chocolate chips for a Christmas twist!

What You Need

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups Open Nature Almond Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips

How It’s Made:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until well combined. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda and salt. Stir this mixture into the butter mixture. Add chocolate chips and mix until combined.
Place small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Press dough slightly if crispy cookies are desired.
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
