Description

These chocolate chip cookies are made with just 7 ingredients and they’re completely oil-free, gluten-free and vegan! If you’re looking for a tasty dessert that everyone can enjoy, these cookies are perfect!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 2/3 cups almond flour (spoon the flour into the measuring cup.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the top-middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the almond meal, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl.
  3. Stir in the applesauce, sweetener, and vanilla until mixed.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking pan. It should make about 12 small cookies.
  6. Flatten them out a bit with the back of the spoon. (They won’t spread much.)
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges just begin to brown.
  8. Let sit for a few minutes to cool, then enjoy.

Notes

I prefer to use applesauce in these cookies to keep them oil-free. But if you’d like to substitute oil instead, you can use a natural oil like avocado oil or grapeseed oil.

Be sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep these cookies vegan. I like the Enjoy Life brand dairy-free chips.
