Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (175 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Measure almond flour and pass it through a sieve* to remove lumps.
  • Mix the almond flour, sugar and baking powder. Next, add water and stir until blended (as shown in the video).
  • Add chocolate chips to the cookie dough mix.
  • Scoop out 1 Tbsp sized cookie dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Press on it lightly to make it flat.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 10 min on the baking sheet. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

Notes

Tips -

  • Make sure that you use the right kind of almond flour - blanched almond flour and not almond meal.
  • These cookies do not spread, so shape them the size and thickness that you want. If you prefer crispy almond flour cookies, make them thinner and more spread out.
  • Cooling the cookie after baking is very essential. The cookie might look and feel like it's not at all cooked when you take it out of the oven but it will get a bit more crispy on the outside by the time it cooled down.
  • Do not overbake the cookies. They continue to cook as they cool down.
  • Be sure to check up on the cookies at the 12-minute mark, and continue to keep an eye on them until done. The reason for this is that they can go from golden to dark brown in a small amount of time.

Storing Almond Cookies -

Once the cookies have cooled down completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. I freeze cookies in a large ziplock freezer bag or a covered freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
You can also reheat the cookies from frozen at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until warmed through.

Make-Ahead Options -

Place unbaked cookies in the freezer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for at least four hours.
Once they have hardened, place them in the freezer, in an airtight container in a single layer, These will stay good for 3 months.
When you are ready to bake these cookies, take them out of the freezer and transfer them to a prepared baking sheet or cookie sheet and bake as directed in the recipe card.
It might take them a couple of minutes more to be baked. They are fully baked when they turn light golden brown.
