🍪 Chocolate Chips Almond Cookies (6 Ingredients Only!)

Hey there, cookie lovers! If you’re in the mood for something sweet, soft, and chocolatey but don’t want to deal with a long list of ingredients this recipe is for you. These Chocolate Chips Almond Cookies are super easy, made in just one bowl, and taste like something right out of a fancy bakery (Ben’s Cookies fans, you know what I mean!).

I love that these cookies are made with only 6 simple ingredients. They’re gooey, rich, and full of chocolatey goodness. Plus, they’re gluten-free and use almond butter and almond flour, so they’ve got a nutty flavor that makes them extra special. Let’s get baking!

👩‍🍳 Method

Mix the Base

To start, grab a large mixing bowl and add in the almond butter, almond flour, and maple syrup. Using a rubber spatula or a spoon, stir these ingredients together until they form a smooth, thick mixture. This step creates the cookie dough base and blends the natural sweetness of the syrup with the nutty flavor of the almond flour and butter.

Add the Fun Stuff

Next, toss in your chocolate chips. You can use mini or regular-sized chips, depending on how gooey you want the cookies. Stir them in gently but thoroughly, making sure they’re spread evenly throughout the dough. You’ll start to see the dough take on that classic chocolate chip cookie look yum!

Chill It

Once everything is mixed, it’s time to chill. Place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is important it helps the dough firm up, which makes shaping easier and keeps the cookies from spreading too much while baking. Skipping this part could lead to flat, overly thin cookies.

Finish Mixing

After the dough has chilled, take it out of the fridge and add the egg and baking soda. The egg helps bind everything together and adds richness, while the baking soda gives the cookies a little rise. Mix it well until everything is fully combined. The dough should now feel thick, smooth, and scoopable.

Shape Your Cookies

Use a spoon to scoop out the dough and place each scoop onto a baking tray. If you have parchment paper, line the tray with it for easier cleanup. Once your scoops are on the tray, use your hands to gently press and shape them into cookie rounds. Keep them spaced out so they have room to expand slightly in the oven.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (about 350°F). Once ready, place the baking tray in the oven and bake the cookies for 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them these cookies bake quickly, and you want the centers to stay soft and gooey.

Cool and Enjoy

After 8 minutes, take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to pick up without breaking. Once they’ve cooled slightly, they’re ready to eat! The texture should be soft in the center with melty chocolate chips throughout just perfect.
