Paleo Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies made with almond flour and flax seed - refined sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free healthy chocolate chip cookies

 

I’ve been on the prowl for THE perfect gluten-free almond flour chocolate chip cookie recipe for many moons, and I daresay, I have found it!

In my opinion, there’s absolutely nothing that compares to a fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookie.  

Thanks to Nicole Morrissey from Prevention RD and her newly released cookbook, Prevention RD’s Cooking and Baking with Almond Flour, I am back on the cookie-dough-for-dinner freight train.

Just get a load of the cookie details: These cookies are made with almond flour and coconut oil – no gluten, no butter.

While the original recipe calls for brown sugar, I replaced it with coconut sugar and the cookies still turned out great.

Basically this means we have a dairy-free, gluten-free, naturally sweetened, healthier chocolate chip cookie recipe with a nice little omega kick.

Which by my calculations can only mean one thing: feast.

It’s time to eat the doughs for dinner.

Just kidding. 😉

Be sure to check out Nicole’s cookbook and in the meantime, make this recipe in triplicate.

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Egg-free, dairy-free, grain-free chocolate chip cookies that taste absolutely amazing!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Total Time: 14 minutes
12 cookies

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, flaxseed, salt, and coconut sugar (the dry ingredients) and stir.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut oil (the wet ingredients).
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry and stir well.
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  • Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and form cookies with your hands - these cookies aren't like regular ones where they spread out - they keep their form going in the oven.
  • Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until cookies feel firm when poked and have browned around the edges (see note below).

Notes

I bake live at high elevation, so it took my cookies 12 minutes to bake. If you live at lower elevation, 7 to 9 minutes in the oven should work just fine.
*Replace the coconut sugar with regular brown sugar if you'd like.
