Notes

These almond flour chocolate cookies do expand a bit so make sure to leave room between them on the baking sheet.
Life is easier when you line the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone cookie sheet.
They come out of the oven super soft and highly delicate. Let them cool fully on the pan.
Though the pictures show the almond flour cookies drizzled with chocolate, it’s not necessary. They’re delicious without it!
However, if you want to drizzle the cookies just melt some chocolate chips on low heat with ½ teaspoon of coconut oil or use dairy-free chocolate ganache.
A 2 or 2.7oz ice cream scoop works for perfect portions.
