Almond Flour Cookies

Pillowy-thick, cookie-dough-soft at the center, and chocolate-chip-studded Almond Flour Cookies are exactly the recipe you didn’t know you needed today, but please believe me when I say you do. You desperately do.

You see, once you realize you can bake a cookie that:

• Fulfills all of the obvious cookie requirements: lightly crisp at the edges, near-molten in the middle, nuanced with different levels of flavor like cinnamon, vanilla, and chocolate

And at the same time:

• Nails the less-immediate though not-to-be-ignored positives like: One bowl, no dough refrigeration, a healthy ingredient lineup that justifies the extra servings you were going to eat anyway

You realize you bake that cookie right away.

Or if not right away (if, say, you are heartbreakingly stuck at your desk right now instead of within sprinting distance of your kitchen), then you bake it as soon as you can get your paws on a bag of almond flour and a mixing bowl. From there, you won’t have long to wait.

Start to finish, these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are ready in 30 minutes, they’re naturally gluten free, and just to make sure anyone and everyone can enjoy them, I’ve included tips to make them vegan Almond Flour Cookies too!
