Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter (softened)
• ¾ cup brown sugar (or Brown Swerve)
• ¼ cup white sugar (or Granular Swerve)
• 3 cups fine almond flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup chocolate chips (plus more for tops of cookies, if desired)

Steps

1. 1

   In large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with a handheld mixer on high speed until mixture is light and fluffy,

2. 2

   Add all remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips. Beat on medium speed until well incorporated.

3. 3

   Fold chocolate chips into dough with spatula.

4. 4

   Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, portion out equal-sized cookie dough balls. If you don't have a cookie scoop, use a spoon to scoop equal-sized dough balls (approximately 1 ½ tablespoons each) and roll dough between your palms to smooth.

5. 5

   Place dough balls approximately 2 ½ inches apart on cookie sheet. If you place them too close together, the cookies will spread into each other when they bake.

6. 6

   For picture perfect cookies, press 3-4 additional chocolate chips into the rounded tops of the cookie dough.

7. 7

   Chill dough on cookie sheets for at least 30 minutes. 60 minutes is ideal, and even longer is fine. 30 minutes is the absolute minimum.

8. 8

   Preheat oven to 325º Fahrenheit. Bake chilled dough 13-15 minutes, or until edges are faintly golden brown and set. Remove from oven.

9. 9

   Let cookies rest on cookie sheet approximately 5 minutes, then use a spatula to carefully transfer cookies to wire cooling rack. Let cool completely.
