The best Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies you’ll ever eat! Made lighter and balanced in nutrition, this cookie recipe is easy to make and butter free. Soft, pillowy cookies!
Every holiday season I make chocolate chip cookies. It reminds me of growing up and eating my Grandma’s famous cookies. She always had them in the freezer waiting for when we got there. I love my chocolate chip cookies chilled. So good!
Except Grandma’s weren’t all that healthy. Crisco, butter, white flour and white sugar. Oh my! A little too unhealthy for my style and quite frankly those ingredients are outdated. Tasty, but we can do better friends!
Almond Flour Chocolate Chips Cookies
These almond flour chocolate chip cookies are healthier than Grandma’s! Made with almond flour so they’re higher in fat and will keep you full. They also have less sugar so your blood sugar won’t spike over and over again making you feel like you want to go back for seconds, thirds, fourths and well… you know it goes downhill from there.
I love making healthier versions of Grandma’s cookies and this one is definitely one you need to make along with Low Calorie Chocolate Chip Cookies, Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies and Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Helpful Tips
It’s very important to chill this batter before baking. Don’t skip this step! It’s key to preventing the batter from spreading while baking. Butter free cookies like this one, spread easily from the lack of fat. Chilling ensures they will turn out soft, fluffy and perfect!
