Paleo Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup almond butter (natural– only ingredients should be almonds or almonds and salt)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar (cane sugar works too)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- sprinkle sea salt (plus more for topping)
- 1 chocolate bar of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Finely chop your chocolate bar and set aside.
- Whisk together coconut sugar, almond butter, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. You could also use a stand mixer.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until fully combined (see above photo for consistency). Mix in chocolate chunks (save some for topping).
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out about one heaping tablespoon per cookie. Roll into balls. Slightly flatten each ball with the bottom of your palm. Top with extra chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes or until edges start to slightly brown. Once you remove cookies from the oven, let them sit on the baking tray for at least 5-10 minutes to set.
