Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Last night I made gluten-free cookies using ONLY almond flour. Usually, for GF baking, I use a blend of rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch flour, and xantham gum. So only using one type of flour made the process much simpler. (Thank you, Binky, for mailing that flour all the way to Taiwan!) :)


The cookies were delicious. The almond flour gives them a light nutty flavor and soft, chewy texture.


Ingredients (Makes about 10 cookies):

* 1 1/2 cups almond flour
* 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1 egg
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 375.

Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Mix in the egg. Next, add the almond flour, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and mix until it’s all incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!
