Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl add all the ingredients, but except the chocolate chips. Using a spatula stir everything well until all is combined and the dough is smooth.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
  • Roll balls of dough. It’s about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  • Press fork into the tops to create the criss-cross pattern. Probably the dough will crack a little. You just have to re-seal some cracks by simply smooth it out with your fingers. But know that it’s totally fine to have a few cracks.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until very lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before handling.
  • While the cookies are in the oven, place some chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir. Return it to the microwave and repeat, stopping to stir every 15-seconds until the mixture is totally melted.
  • Dip half of cookie into the melted chocolate and let the excess run off.

Notes

  • Make sure you use almond flour and not almond meal. They will not produce the same results.
  • These cookies do not spread much so you can place them closer to each other. That's why you have to press them down before baking.
  • If you want perfectly uniformed cookies without weighing the dough, you can use a cookie scoop! 
  • To store: Store the cookies for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • To freeze: After cooling, freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
