Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped (preferably 70% cacao or more)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
