Servings 22 cookies

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • cup butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour packed
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until a dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Roll dough into balls (about 1½ tbsp each) and space 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9–11 minutes. As soon as they come out, pick up the pan and drop it (gently!) on your counter a few times to flatten and crackle.
  • Let cool 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container up to 5 days (but they won’t last that long). For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and dairy-free chips like Enjoy Life. Sub coconut sugar for cane if you want to go refined sugar-free.
