What is Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies made with almond flour: golden at the edges, soft and chewy in the middle.

How to make Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tips from the cook

  • Watch them from 8 minutes: 2 minutes too long turns them from chewy to crisp.
  • Flatten the balls before baking; the dough does not spread.
  • Best still a little warm, once they are firm enough to lift.
  • Coconut sugar can replace the brown sugar, but keep the almond flour: other flours behave differently.

Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies substitutions

Out of something, or cooking around an allergy. Each swap was checked against a source.

Almond flour2 options
  • Sunflower seed flour (sunflower seeds ground fine in a coffee grinder or processor) 1:1 by weight

    Slightly seedy flavour; higher moisture so it needs longer cooking.

  • Gluten-free plain flour blend (use a labelled gluten-free one) use about 80% of the weight (e.g. 2.4 oz for 3 oz almond flour)

    Drier and less rich; not a nut-flour texture.

From the cook: creator says keep the almond flour: other flours behave differently; coconut sugar can replace brown sugar.

Butter2 options
  • Vegan/dairy-free butter block 1:1 by weight

    Soft tub margarine fails in pastry and cheesecake base.

  • Olive oil use about 3/4 as much by volume

    Not for creaming or pastry; base goes oily.

Egg2 options
  • Flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) per egg

    Not above 3 eggs, not sponge.

  • 60 g unsweetened applesauce per egg

    Denser.

Chocolate chips2 options
  • Dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped dairy-free dark bar 1:1 by weight

    Still contains soy.

  • Raisins or cocoa nibs use 3/4

    Not sweet.
