Irresistible Chocolate Almond Cookies (GF!)
Ingredients
Method
- In a stand mixer bowl, cream together softened butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, and cane sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing for 1 minute until smooth and well combined.
- Add almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium for 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth and uniform.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and shape into a flat disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the chilled dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if refrigerated for over an hour. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Cut out desired shapes. Carefully slide the parchment with the cut-outs onto a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during baking.
- Transfer the frozen shapes to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set. Let cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Repeat with remaining dough. Frost or enjoy as is. You’ve made delicious gluten-free chocolate cookies!
