Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.33 cups Avocado oil
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cups Dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the avocado oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookie dough balls with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these heart-healthy gluten-free chocolate chip cookies as a delightful and guilt-free treat!
