Description
Deliciously chewy cookies made with almond flour and packed with peanut butter and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (large)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup sugar (white granulated)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons semi sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (or 177°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add almond flour, baking soda, and salt into a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add the egg, peanut butter, butter, both sugars and vanilla extract into a larger bowl and beat with a hand held electric beater for 2 minutes, until creamy and fluffy.
- Add the combined dry ingredients and chocolate chips, and beat to combine.
- Scoop approximately 3 tablespoons of dough (an ice cream scoop works well) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing the mounds about 2 inches apart. If desired, add extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough.
- Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the cookies are a deep golden color. Place pan on a wire rack to cool.
