Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined and aerated.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
Form Dough: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a uniform dough forms. If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips at this stage.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, then flatten each slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, ensuring the cookies are cooked through but still tender.
Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.

Notes

These cookies are naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free by using coconut oil instead of butter.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
