Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the softened butter or coconut oil (or a mix of both) and stir well by hand until mixed. It should form a thick dough that is hard to stir.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. This should make the dough easier to mix. If needed, add a teaspoon or two of milk or water to thin. Finished dough should be easy to form.
Add the chocolate chips and stir by hand until incorporated.
Form the dough into tablespoon size balls and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until tops are starting to brown. The centers will be somewhat soft, but they will firm up a bit as they cool.
Let cool at least 5 minutes and serve.
Enjoy!

Debra on 2022-08-14 (4 stars): I made these pretty much as the recipe states. I used coconut shortening, coconut sugar 1/4 cup and dark chocolate chips. I put walnuts in mine. They don't spread out so I flattened slightly with a fork on the second batch. They are very soft and crumbly but the taste is very good. What would you suggest adding to get them more to a cookie like stage and hold together. I baked for 11 minutes. Not sure if that was enough. Anyway thanks for a cookie recipe. I need to work on it more.
Nineveh Carvan on 2021-04-09 (5 stars): I added two tablespoons of psyllium husk powder and one teaspoon of baking powder. Mine had a soft texture. I subbed out coconut sugar for dextrose to reduce the fructose content. These were delicious!
George Henry on 2020-08-11 (5 stars): This is my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. Works every time. Delicious every time.
Terri Sidell on 2020-05-10 (5 stars): Looks like something I can eat and simple to make. Thanks for the recipe! Do you have a recipe on how to make Elderberry syrup from tea bags???
Talei Loloma on 2020-05-06 (5 stars): I am obsessed with making alternative desserts for my health since 1995. I used coconut sugar here and these are AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing Katie!
George on 2019-03-26 (5 stars): The best GF chocolate chip cookies I have found online. I've made these 5-10 times, with chocolate chips and with nuts. I eat them within 2 days. They're irresistible. Great for breakfast, snacking and dessert. Making them today. Great texture, mild sweetness and easy recipe. Thank you Katie.
George on 2018-12-26 (5 stars): THESE GF chocolate chip cookies are AMAZING. I've made numerous recipes from great allergy-conscious sites, but so far, these are the best. I just use a mini cookie dough scooper and plop the scooped balls on my silpat and bake roughly 15 mins or until just browning. Ate these with homemade, dairy-free vanilla ice cream...???.
Ida on 2018-12-19 (5 stars): So good! I made them 4 times in one week! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
Amanda on 2018-12-11 (4 stars): Flavor is great but felt they were a little dry, anyone change the recipe a bit to fix?
Ruth on 2018-10-04 (5 stars): I just made the cookies, and they turned out amazing!
As for storing, is an air-tight container ok, or do they need to be in fridge?
cheryl raley on 2018-06-09 (1 stars): may I say that there must be a few ingredients missing because I was making these cookies and my batter was so dry yes we followed every step and got all of the ingredients also we had to scrap the whole thing its a waste of ingredients.
