Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup cup gluten-free almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil or avocado oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener or unrefined cane sugar
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan alternative)
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  4. Chill the Dough: Divide dough into four large balls (approx. 145 g each), then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance texture and prevent excess spreading.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 3-4 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  6. Finishing Touch: Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
