Chocolate Chip Cookies with Almond Flour

Almond flour plays the biggest role in this almond flour cookie recipe and helps keep these chocolate chip cookies tender.

I haven't tested this recipe with coconut flour. Coconut flour doesn't work as a 1-to-1 sub for almond flour.

Working With Almond Flour

Working with almond flour can be tricky if you're not used to it. Remember when measuring almond flour to spoon your flour into your measuring cup, then level it.

Do not dip your measuring cup into the flour then level, it will be too much almond flour.

Also, if you store almond flour in the freezer you'll want to bring it to room temperature before you use it.

Almond flour looses moisture in the freezer but absorbs moisture from the air when it defrosts. If you add it to your recipe too soon, it's suck the wet ingredients right up.
