In my search,\u00a0I did find it would be best to chill the dough and I will try that next time. \u00a0In the meantime, I tried another recipe for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies and this one used baking soda instead of baking powder like mine and I decided to try it and chill the dough. \u00a0The cookies did not spread out\u00a0but they did not take like a chocolate chip cookie like my first recipe. \u00a0The\u00a0taste and texture is more like a\u00a0macaroon. \u00a0They are very good, but I cannot believe there is such a huge difference in taste and texture. \u00a0This recipe almost tastes\u00a0like flaked coconut was added. \u00a0Like I said, it is very good, just not what I would call a chocolate chip cookie. \u00a0I would refer to it as a chocolate chip macaroon cookie, lol. \u00a0Anyway, lets take a look at how we make these \u00a0and I will update with the other recipe and post pics of the first go round on that as well.<\/p>\n
For my almond flour, I used the Morning Pep brand that is available on Amazon<\/a>. \u00a0It is made from 100% all-natural Certified Gluten-Free by GFCO blanched almonds. The flour is ground very fine so it gives baked goods and sweets a rich flavor and moist texture, contains no preservatives or additives. \u00a0Morning Pep Almond Meal Flour is a great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin E, protein, iron, magnesium and calcium.\u00a0Morning Pep Almond Flour is considered pasteurized by the USDA and The Almond Board of California.<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a silicone baking mat or line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n In your mixer bowl \u00a0cream the butter, extra virgin coconut oil and brown sugar. Next, add the vanilla and eggs and mix until blended.<\/p>\n Add baking soda and sea salt. \u00a0Add the almond flour one cup at time, beat well after each addition. I felt the dough was too soft after adding 3 cups of flour and gradually added more, I would say about 3\/4 cup more. \u00a0Dough was still soft \u00a0but not as soft as before.<\/p>\n Add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated in the dough, if you are adding the nuts, add them now and mix.<\/p>\n Chill the dough for at least an hour. Scoop with a small cookie scoop onto the lined cookie sheet and bake immediately for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. \u00a0Let cook and remove to baking rack to cool thoroughly. \u00a0Yield about 3 dozen with the additional flour.<\/p>\n![\"almond](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mommyramblings.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/almond-flour-morning-pep.jpg?resize=348%2C500\")
