Description
These scientifically engineered paleo chocolate chip cookies utilize a precise balance of almond and coconut flours to ensure a stable, chewy structure without grains. Rich almond butter and coconut sugar provide a deep caramel flavor profile that rivals any traditional bakery cookie.
Ingredients
- 100g blanched almond flour
- 32g coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 84g room-temperature coconut oil
- 150g coconut sugar
- 98g natural almond butter
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 213g paleo chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until the mixture is uniform and free of clumps.
- Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream the coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond butter, and vanilla extract on medium speed for exactly 60 seconds to create a stable emulsion.
- Incorporate the large egg on low speed, beating only until just combined to avoid aerating the batter too much.
- Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no flour streaks remain, then fold in the paleo chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 60 minutes to allow the coconut flour to hydrate and the molecular bonds to strengthen.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a heavy-gauge baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into balls (75g for large cookies) and place on the prepared sheet, pressing down lightly to a half-inch thickness.
- Bake for 11 to 14 minutes until the edges are set, then allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray to finish the carry-over cooking process.
Notes
To ensure consistent results, always measure your ingredients by weight using a kitchen scale, as the density of grain-free flours can vary significantly by brand. If your kitchen is particularly warm, chill your coconut oil for a few minutes before creaming to ensure it maintains a semi-solid, butter-like consistency for the best emulsion.
