How do you make almond flour cookies from scratch?
Making eggless gluten-free almond flour chocolate chip 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 over heat it, 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.

With a hand blender and a whisk attachment, whisk the butter 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
How to bake chocolate chip cookies with almond flour?
Pre heat the oven to 350 deg F. Line a baking tray with a parchment paper. Divide the dough into twelve equal parts and make dough balls and flatten it slightly.
Bake the cookies in the pre heated 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 at this point and must be allowed to cool down or else they can break.

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.
