Description
Delicious vanilla almond chocolate chip cookies with a hint of orange.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/2 cup sugar (I used white sugar but you can substitute light brown or coconut sugar)
- 3/4 teaspoon finely-grated orange zest from one orange - just the orange part (the white is bitter)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (I used 365 brand from Whole Foods)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: flour, sugar, orange zest and salt. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Knead with your hands a bit to fully incorporate everything. Add chocolate chips and knead a bit more, until the chocolate is mixed in evenly.
- Shape the Cookies: Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough in your hands and roll it into a ball. Flatten it in your hand and place it on the prepared tray. Repeat with the rest of the dough, spacing the cookies about 1/2 inch apart. If your hands get sticky, rinsing them in icy cold water should help keep the dough from sticking to you.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 16 minutes. Cool cookies on pan for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely (about an hour for the chocolate to firm up) Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
