Ingredients for almond flour chocolate chip cookies.

What type of almond flour should I use?

The best almond flour for chocolate chip cookies is finely ground almond flour. The super-finely ground type works best because it keeps the texture of the cookies smooth. However, any type of almond flour should work!

Almond meal vs. almond flour

Don’t have almond flour on hand? Almond meal works great, too. It’s a bit grainy in texture, but once it’s mixed into this cookie dough it tastes amazing!

Substitutions

Sugar – As mentioned above, we used a mix of brown sugar and regular sugar. However, feel free to omit the regular sugar or just use one type of sugar instead!

Butter – We recommend sticking to butter for this recipe (as other types of oils can significantly change the texture). However, a great option is to use vegan butter instead.

Freezing the cookie dough

Another thing we’re loving about this recipe is that it can be frozen for later! Try making a big batch of these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies and freezing half of it.

To freeze, simply roll the cookie dough into balls and place in an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake according to the directions below. Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time and you’re good to go!

    SO GOOD! I doubled the batch to make 24 large cookies that I baked for an extra 5 minutes until they were crispy on the outside and still chewy on the inside. I’ve made tons of almond flour cookies in our house due to allergies and these are the best! Rave reviews from my son& husband!
