# Ingredients:

→ Dough Essentials

01 - 300g almond flour (blanched)
02 - 160g coconut or brown sugar
03 - 56g coconut oil
04 - 113g butter, softened
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
06 - 87g walnuts, toasted (optional)
07 - 213g chocolate chips (use your favorite type)
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher)
10 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet using parchment paper.
02 - Using a stand mixer, whip the butter, sugar, and coconut oil until smooth. Toss in the vanilla and eggs, mixing until everything's well-blended.
03 - Stir in salt and baking soda. Slowly add almond flour, one cup at a time, making sure to mix between each addition. Gently fold in chocolate chips and, if using, walnuts with a wooden spoon.
04 - Scoop out dough, rolling it into balls about the size of a tablespoon. Put them on the parchment-lined sheet, leaving about 8 cm (3 inches) of space between each.
05 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges turn golden. Let them sit for a bit before digging in. They're tastiest on the day they're made.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For similar results, you can swap blanched almond flour for almond meal.
02 - Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps them spread less.
