Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 147kcal
Equipment
- stand mixer or hand held mixer
- 1 cookie sheets
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened salted or unsalted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⅔ cups fine almond flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (can omit if using salted butter)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- ¼ to ½ cup chopped almonds (optional for coating)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl with hand-held mixer), beat the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes on medium high until lighter in color with a whipped texture. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Add almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt (if using) to the bowl, mixing on low until just combined. Add chocolate chips and mix in - the dough will be thick.
- Place dough in a small bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 1 day for a make-ahead option). Alternately you can wrap the dough in waxed paper tightly and then fridge.
- While dough is chilling, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough, rolling each into a ball and coating with chopped almonds (or more almond flour). Place each ball onto a prepared sheet and lightly flatten with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 15-17 minutes until the almond coating is starting to brown, but the cookies are still soft.
- Let cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
