Ingredients
  

2 cups almond flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/3 cup coconut sugar

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free for a vegan option)

1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, which will make it easier to remove the cookies later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Use a whisk to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well-blended and free of lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture together until it is combined and smooth, ensuring all sugar has dissolved.

        Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir continuously to combine them until a cohesive dough begins to form. If the dough feels overly sticky, let it rest for a few minutes; it will firm up slightly.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped almonds (if using) into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.

            Scoop and Shape: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each scoop, as the cookies will spread slightly during baking.

              Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking for a golden-brown edge and a set center. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the middle for a soft texture.

                Cool Down: When the cookies are done baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once cooled, treat yourself to these irresistible chocolate chip almond cookies alongside a refreshing glass of milk or your favorite dairy-free beverage!
