Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1/4 cup for pressing into the tops of the cookies before baking
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour (How to Make Almond Flour)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (Cacao v. Cocoa Powder: What’s the Difference?)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instruction

  • Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Whisk together until completely smooth.
  • Add the coconut sugar and eggs to the bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Add the blanched almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use two tablespoons to drop a ball of dough onto the sheet. I fit 6 – 8 cookies per batch. The dough is sticky, so using spoons or a cookie dough scooper is the best bet to get a round mound.
  • Press additional chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to sit for 15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • I sprinkled my cookies with flaked sea salt while they were sitting on the baking sheet but this is optional if you don’t want to add the salt on top.
