Description
These healthy chocolate chip cut out cookies are made with almond flour and loaded with mini chocolate chips. These cookies are crisp, crunchy and delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (138g)
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch (30g)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp palm shortening (21g) or sub with butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup miniature dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch and salt.
- Mix in the maple syrup, shortening and vanilla. (I recommend mixing first with a fork or spatula, then using your hands to knead the dough.)
- Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Grab two sheets of parchment paper and roll the dough between them using a rolling pin. Roll as thin as the mini chocolate chips will allow.
- Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on your lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
- After baking, cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
The number of cookies this recipe makes will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter you use. I made 22 cookies using a circular cookie cutter with a 2 1/4 inch diameter.
