Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (150g), finely ground
  • ½ cup oat flour (50g), certified gluten free if needed
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (115g), softened
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (30ml), melted
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (150g), light or dark
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten free chocolate chips (175g), semi-sweet preferred

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt until combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in gluten free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each mound with fingers or the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Use room temperature eggs and butter for better creaming. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Baking on the middle rack promotes crisp edges without burning.
