    Ingredients

    • 2 cups (236g) almond flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips I prefer mini chips
    • sea salt for sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
    • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract and stir to combine until dry ingredients are moistened and incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
    • Scoop dough with a tablespoon and roll into ball. Space about an inch and a half apart on baking sheet. Using the palm on your hand, press ball down about halfway. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. 
    • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are just golden brown. The tops will not brown like traditional cookies. Allow to rest on baking sheet for a few minutes then transfer to wire cooling rack. 
    • Store olive oil chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container.

      Felt the need to review as I recorded the recipe into a notebook. This has become a household staple for us. I make it almost every week! Perfect for having something sweet and indulgent that feels more guilt free.

      Wow! Just wow! Over the past year I have been cutting out refined sugar and mainly using paleo sugars. I try to seek out recipes sweetened naturally or by honey and maple syrup. These cookies hit the spot! They combine my love for salty and sweet and are AMAZING. I will def be making these as my staple choc. chip cookie recipe! YUM!!!

      I have been making these on repeat now for months. In LOVE. I make a double batch and freeze them to pop just a few in the oven at a time. Perfection on those nights when I need a sweet treat that my body can appreciate!

      Love this recipe! Have made it multiple times!
      I am looking for a substitute for almond flour - Want to use regular flour.. Any suggestions on quantity and other ingredients to include (baking soda, powder, salt, etc?)

      Do you think these could be made with white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour instead? Thanks!
