Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Almond flour (blanched) - This is our base and does not need to be heat-treated to kill harmful bacteria like raw flour in regular cookie dough.
Cornstarch or arrowroot starch - Use what you have on hand. The starch will help hold everything together.
Olive oil - Instead of vegan butter, olive oil takes the place of the fat component needed and you can almost always find it in the pantry when a cookie craving strikes (or cake!). Vegan cookie dough win!
Maple syrup - This adds sweetness and helps act as a binder.
Organic cane sugar - Gives the dough bites that signature granulated sugar texture and flavor.
Coconut sugar - In place of using brown sugar, this lower-glycemic option fits the bill!
Almond milk - A little bit of milk is all you need. Feel free to use the plant-based milk of your choice.
Pure vanilla extract - Vanilla ties everything together for chocolate chip cookie flavor.
Dairy-free chocolate chips - I prefer using mini chocolate chips, but regular chocolate chip sizes are great too. I often use EnjoyLife brand.

Tips
- The edible gf batter will firm up in the refrigerator. Allow the dough (or the portion you would like to eat) to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.
- If the dough is too thick, add a little additional milk until desired consistency is reached.
- If it is too thin, add a little additional almond flour at a time until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Use a cookie scoop to roll the dough into small cookie dough balls before storing it. Keep some in the fridge and some and the freezer for later!
