Favorite Gluten-Free Almond Cookies Recipe (w/ Dark Chocolate)

Sweet, chewy, and delicious. Today, I’m sharing my favorite Gluten-Free Almond Cookies recipe with you guys! These yummy cookies are made with almond flour, only have 7 ingredients, and are topped with a delicious dark chocolate drizzle!

I can honestly say, guys, that this is one of my absolute FAVORITE cookie recipes of all times. I mean, it’s a tough toss up between the The BEST Chocolate Chip Healthy Cookie Recipe that I made the other day, but this is a different category, right? We’re talking about the world of non-chocolate chip cookies here. In that world, this Gluten-Free Almond Cookies recipe is my hands down favorite!

Ah ok, I honestly can’t decide between the two recipes. Let’s just make them both, shall we? After all, it IS December which is basically give-me-all-the-cookies month anyway. And these almond cookies are healthy, so that means we can eat more of them! šŸ˜‰

This Gluten-Free Almond Cookies Recipe (w/ Dark Chocolate) is an all-time favorite and so easy to make!

7 ingredients. 7 INGREDIENTS! Does it get any better than that? Simply mix together finely ground almond flour (this one’s my favorite), coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, egg, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Form cookies on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes!

For the dark chocolate drizzle (which is optional but totally necessary), melt dark chocolate and drizzle it over each cookie once they are baked. Take theseĀ Gluten-Free Almond Cookies to the next level by topping each cookie with a sprinkle of sea salt! SO yum.

TheseĀ Gluten-Free Almond Cookies can be easily made dairy-free and vegan!

To make this recipe dairy-free, simply replace the dark chocolate chips with dairy-free chocolate chips (these are so delicious) for the chocolate drizzle.

To make vegan, replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (they’re so easy to make or you can buy a vegan egg mix HERE) in addition to using dairy-free chocolate chips!

This favorite Gluten-Free Almond Cookies Recipe (w/ Dark Chocolate) has been tested and loved by friends and family. I think you and your family will absolutely love it, too!

    Thanks for this recipe Christine. We always bake boring old Chocolate Chip Cookies. This seems easy to make with not a ton of ingredients. So, we’ll be making these soon.

    Hi thanks.for this absolutely delicious recipie which is healthy at the same time. But mine were very soft and chewy. How can we make them crispy n crunchy? Also the coconut taste over powers the almond taste when I dnt put the almond extract.
