What type of almond flour should I use?
The best almond flour for chocolate chip cookies is finely ground almond flour. (opens in a new tab) The super-finely ground type works best because it keeps the texture of the cookies smooth. However, any type of almond flour should work!
Almond meal vs. almond flour
Don’t have almond flour on hand? Almond meal works great, too. It’s a bit grainy in texture, but once it’s mixed into this cookie dough it tastes amazing!

Substitutions

Butter – We recommend sticking to butter for this recipe (as other types of oils can significantly change the texture). However, a great option is to use vegan butter instead.
Freezing the cookie dough
Another thing we’re loving about this recipe is that it can be frozen for later! Try making a big batch of these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies and freezing half of it.

SO GOOD! I doubled the batch to make 24 large cookies that I baked for an extra 5 minutes until they were crispy on the outside and still chewy on the inside. I’ve made tons of almond flour cookies in our house due to allergies and these are the best! Rave reviews from my son& husband!
Almond flour is such a game-changer in baking. These cookies were delicious!
Me want cookie! lol. I’ve only worked with almond flour once or twice before. I’ll have to give this recipe a try. Thank you!
These were easy and so delicious! Will make again!
Incredible that these are grain free!
