Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, stir melted coconut oil, sweetener, egg, and vanilla.

Add dry ingredients: Stir in almond flour, baking soda, and salt until dough forms.

Fold in chocolate chips gently.

Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly with fingers.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are golden.

Cool completely on the baking sheet—they’ll firm up as they cool!

Tips & Variations

Nut-free version: Use coconut flour and add 1 extra egg or flax egg to maintain moisture.
Extra gooey: Press a few extra chocolate chips on top right before baking.
Flavor boosters: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dough!
Want crunchier cookies? Bake 1–2 extra minutes.

Storage Tips

Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temp or warm gently in microwave for that fresh-baked feel.

Room temp: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.
