Chocolate chip cookies need no introduction! They are loved by kids and adults alike. I enjoy making the 5 ingredient gluten-free almond flour chocolate chip cookies and that too without eggs, baking powder, or baking soda!
These almond flour cookies are perfect for holidays, Thanksgiving, or a treat for any occasion. They are great for gifting.
Ingredients
This is a 5 ingredient almond flour chocolate chip cookies recipe. This recipe makes eggless cookies without baking soda. The main ingredients are
- Almond flour (blanched)
- Unsalted butter at room temperature
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
Making eggless gluten-free cookies at home is a breeze. In a bowl take unsalted butter at room temperature.
Refrigerated butter can be softened in the microwave too but you need to be careful to not overheat it, or else the butter will melt.
A soft dough is made using all the ingredients and then refrigerated for some time. The dough is then divided into small balls and baked into cookies in a preheated oven.
Make cookie dough
With a hand blender and a whisk attachment, whisk the butter in a large mixing bowl until it becomes smooth. Now add the sugar and mix it on medium speed until the sugar and butter mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Add the almond flour, some vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for enhancing the flavor. Mix gently with a spatula and then add the chocolate chips and mix well to form a soft dough.
Refrigerate the almond flour cookie dough for about 30 minutes to firm up. This helps in making the chocolate chip cookie dough balls
Bake cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the dough into twelve equal parts and make dough balls and flatten it slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes. The edges of the cookies will start turning brownish.
Once the cookies are baked, remove the tray from the oven using oven mittens and allow it to cool down. The cookies will be very soft in texture at this point and must be allowed to cool down or else they can break.
Variations
To make vegan almond flour chocolate chip cookies, replace butter with vegan butter and vegan chocolate chips.
To make with all-purpose flour, replace the almond flour with all-purpose flour. You can check out this air fryer chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Serving suggestions
These soft almond flour cookies are a treat for any occasion. Enjoy these with a glass of milk or just as is. You can also apply some whipped cream on top of it.
Equipment
The butter and sugar can be whipped using a whisk, hand blender with the whisk attachment, hand mixer, or a stand mixer with a wire attachment. I have used the Cuisinart hand blender with the whisk attachment. For baking, you can bake them in the convection oven on a baking sheet.
Storage
These homemade almond flour cookies will stay fresh for about two weeks in an airtight container or a cookie jar. Just ensure that they cool down completely before you store them otherwise they will become soft and soggy due to the moisture.

Can l use an egg with this recipe without any problems and without altering anything?
Alpa Jain says
Hi Wes,
I have not made it with eggs but you can give it a try. It may need a little more flour since eggs will add more liquid to the cookie dough.
Let me know how they turn out.

Hello, I make this yesterday and love them! But question 252 is for the 12 cookies??

Shela says
Asking if the 252 calories is for all 12 cookies or only one cookie?
Alpa Jain says
Hi Shela
Yes, it is for 1 cookie. The nutrition calculation is just an estimate. Almond flour, butter, and chocolate chips are the 3 ingredients that are high in calories. You can try to use low-fat butter and reduce the quantity of chocolate chips to get lower calories. Optionally you can also make smaller size cookies, that way calories per cookie will be less.
Hope this helps.

Puja says
Can I use ghee instead of butter as we dont use butter? If yes, then how much amount of ghee will be needed to substitute butter in the recipe?
Alpa Jain says
Hi Puja
I have not tried with ghee but it should work. Use the same amount of thickened ghee as butter, not melted ghee.
