Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Healthier almond flour chocolate chip cookies. Low sugar cookies made with only 3 tablespoons maple syrup! Easy paleo cookies made with almond flour, the whole family will love!
Today, my sister and I spent the day baking and jamming out to all the Christmas tunes!
Everything feels like Christmas around here, finally…
The foot of snow that fell overnight made for instant winter over here- not complaining!
Now, it’s time to cram in all the Christmasy things like cookies, skiing, and Christmas music, before it’s too late and December ends!
Singing Deck the Halls at the top of our lungs and making all the cookies; a.k.a. trying not to eat all the batter 😉 ).
Almond flour cookies this season!
I was going to try and do this whole twelve days of Christmas cookies thing, where I make different types of cookies for twelve days straight, but I don’t know if I can do that without getting cookie burnout, so we will see how things turn out!
These cookies were my go, at low sugar cookies made with almond flour.
I have been craving chocolate chip cookies, which is something that doesn’t happen often.
Cookies aren’t really my go-to dessert; I’d much rather have something creamy like a cheesecake or smoothie, but sometimes I just want some good ol’ cookies stuffed with dark chocolate… LOTS of dark chocolate in melty puddles everywhere- insert heart eyes here.
And when the time comes around, I usually like to make my chocolate chip cookies with almond flour or something like that.
These healthier chocolate chip cookies are made with almond butter and almond flour, PLUS they only have 3 tablespoons sugar in them!!! Whaa??

Kaylie, this recipe is great but I want to call attention to the chocolate you’ve liked to – it contains cane sugar which nullifies this as a paleo product. Might you have linked to the wrong ingredient?
Hi Marc, linked are the chocolate chips, but it directs that if you are paleo to use a paleo chocolate bar without sugar. 🙂 Hope that helps clear it up!
Can you omit or reduce the amount of almond butter?
Hi Jennifer, you can sub the almond butter for another kind of nut butter, like cashew!
I made these cookies yesterday and they are already almost gone! SO good! I will have to make more asap because they were delicious and so healthy. I subbed almond butter for peanut butter and I also added just a little arrowroot flower to lighten them up a little. Thanks for the recipe!
Great to hear Jasmine!
These are yummy, made my own cashew/walnut butter 3/4 to 1/4 ratio and used 1/2 cup of that and then hazelnut flour/coconut flour again 3/4 to 1/4 cup ratio. I cannot eat almonds. Completely awesome.
Great idea Alison!
I tried its delicious and perfect ingredients and I put in oven just for 10minutes at 250 degree
