Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a thick dough forms.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Scoop dough by 1/4 cup, spacing 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Flatten each portion slightly with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft. Cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
