Gluten-Free Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies made with almond flour, olive oil, maple syrup, and chocolate chips. A healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe! Vegan.
I absolutely love an easy cookie recipe. There’s really nothing more satisfying. Quick to whip up, consumed even faster. Win win.
There are several easy, healthy-ish cookie recipes on my site like my teff almond butter cookies, my 4-ingredient banana bread cookies, or even these peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
And at one time or another I’ve probably said they were each my favorite cookie recipe. All true.
But these vegan gluten-free chocolate chip cookies made with olive oil have reached favorite status. And for good reason.

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