Ingredients

¼ cup salted butter (melted)
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper, set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the butter sugar and brown sugar for 1 minute.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy (about 1 minute)
Add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt and beat until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a 1 ½ to 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out dough, roll it into balls and place evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheets.
Gently press the tops down so the cookie ball is flat (the cookies don’t change shape much while baking).
Bake for 9-10 minutes until cookies are slightly browned on top and look puffed and set.
Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions

Superfine Almond flour. Use a superfine, blanched variety for the best texture.
Salted Butter. unsalted butter, coconut oil or ghee are all good substitutes.
Granulated sugar. coconut sugar is a good substitute. I use organic cane sugar.
Light brown sugar. dark brown sugar or coconut sugar work well.
Chocolate chips. Use your favorite chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate bars. I prefer semisweet chocolate chips. See the FAQs section for a list of dairy-free and paleo chocolate chips.

Store/Freeze

Store the almond flour cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Thaw slowly at room temperature, or for 5-10 seconds in the microwave.
