¼cupchocolate chips, (plus more to top cookies, if desired)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl, mix melted coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup, and the egg together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix.
Using a spoon or cooking scoop, scoop cookie dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving some room between each cookie. Flatten each cookie and reshape them if needed.
Bake in the oven for 13 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet after removing them from the oven. Then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
These cookies have the best texture at room temperature the same day you bake them!
Notes
*If you don’t have a room-temperature egg ready to go, you can place the egg in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes until it's no longer cool to the touch.
