These soft, chewy Almond Flour Chocolate Chip cookies are not only gluten free but low carb as well! Make a batch today to enjoy with some delicious milk.

Every day is a new chance to make healthier decisions for a better life. I have started to accept the fact that I need to take each day as it comes to better achieve my long term goals.

Forcing myself to follow strict diets just never works out for me. I find I can achieve the best results by making simple, and smarter choices with the types of foods I eat.

I love cookies but want to cut down on carbs, so these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies paired with some almond milk or lower calories milk can help.

Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies and a glass of ice cold milk? I am sure we can all agree that these two food items make for the best combination.

Thankfully, you can make these better for you chocolate chip cookies that are equally delicious!

These cookies are better than their conventional counterparts because they are made with wholesome ingredients despite having brown sugar and butter. They are gluten-free, and have less carbs than many cookies because they are made with blanched almond flour.

What is Blanched Almond Flour?

If you are not familiar with almond flour, it is made with blanched almonds that have no skins (almonds boiled in water). The almonds are ground to a fine consistency. This flour bakes up really deliciously, and is my favorite gluten-free flour. Almond meal is made the same way and is also ground almonds.

I use it in several of my muffin recipes like these Almond Flour Paleo & Gluten Free Banana Muffins.

Coconut Oil Refined or Unrefined?

Coconut oil also plays a big part in making these cookies not only perfectly moist, but tasty as well. They do have a slight coconut flavor ( I used traditional coconut oil). If you do not want a noticeable coconut flavor, you can use refined coconut oil which is odorless and flavorless.

I had some extra walnuts on-hand so I added those in conjunction with chocolate chips. You could also add dry fruit like raisins.
