Description
Almond Flour Chocolate Sugar Cookies are soft, rich, and slightly chewy cookies made with almond flour and cocoa powder for a gluten-free twist on a classic chocolate sugar cookie.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (as needed for dough consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil (or butter) with sugar until combined.
- Add egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Add milk if dough is too dry.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until set around the edges.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Chill dough for 15 minutes if too soft to handle.
- Use dairy-free butter for a fully dairy-free option.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
