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.
- 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.
