Ingredients & Substitutes

These are the ingredients and substitutions for almond flour cookies. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe.

Use solid coconut oil. It should not be softened or melted. Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil tastes slightly like coconut.

Coconut sugar is a delicious healthier sweetener. While brown sugar can be used, we love the taste of coconut sugar. In addition, it is much less processed than brown sugar.

Eggs help the cookies stay together. We have not tried using a vegan egg replacement. For that reason, we strongly recommend not replacing the eggs.

Vanilla extract adds a delicious cookie flavor.

Use finely blanched almond flour for the best texture. Do not use almond meal. Almond meal is much more coarse than almond flour.

Baking soda helps these cookies rise while baking.

A teaspoon of sea salt helps balance out the flavors.

Lastly, use dark chocolate chips or a low-sugar option. We love Hu Kitchen chocolate chips for a healthier option.

Ingredients for almond flour cookies.

What is Almond Flour?

Almond flour is a versatile and increasingly popular alternative to traditional wheat flour! It is made from finely ground blanched almonds, which have had their skins removed.

The process involves blanching the almonds in boiling water to loosen the skins, then cooling and drying them before grinding them into a fine powder. This results in a flour with a light, fluffy texture and a mild, nutty flavor.

Due to its gluten-free nature, almond flour has gained significant attention from those with gluten sensitivities or those following gluten-free diets.

In terms of taste, almond flour is subtly sweet and nutty. It is not as neutral in taste as traditional wheat flour.

Additionally, almond flour has several health benefits. It is a good source of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which can help support heart health.

Almonds are also rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium. Moreover, almond flour is low in carbohydrates and has a lower glycemic index compared to wheat flour. This makes it a suitable choice for individuals watching their blood sugar levels or following a low carb diet.

Taste & Texture

Almond flour cookies are moist and soft, with a slightly nutty flavor.

They are not as sweet as traditional cookies, but they are just as delicious!

The almond flour gives the cookies a light and airy texture. They are not crispy or dry.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the coconut oil and coconut sugar. Beat together for 2 minutes, until light and frothy.

Expert Tips for Success

Here are a few expert tips and tricks for making the best almond flour cookies.

Use blanched finely ground almond flour that is finely ground.  This will help the cookies to be light and chewy.

Do not overmix the cookie dough. 

If the dough is sticky, chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.

Bake the cookies until they are golden brown, but do not overtake.
