I’m a sucker for a good chocolate chip cookie, and was on a mission to healthify a classic cookie recipe. Soft baked inside with extra chocolate chips is my absolute favorite kind of cookie, and this one totally hit the spot!
I got a little fancy with these and threw in some peanut butter candies I had lying around, but they’re totally optional and can be left out!

I wanted to use ingredients that many people had on hand, so you’ll need a few basic pantry staples like:
- Almond flour- my go to for gluten-free baking
- Oat flour- I buy mine pre-made but you can easily make your own by blending rolled oats until fine! The almond & oat flour combo really give this cookie the best texture
- Coconut sugar- you can substitute this for light brown sugar, but I love the color and flavor the coconut sugar provides
- Pure maple syrup
- Olive oil- this was my first time testing a cookie with olive oil and I loved the texture! Easy to use and always on hand
and a few other basics! An instagram follower compared these to a soft-baked Chips-Ahoy cookie and if you ask me, that’s the best compliment there is. Happy baking friends!
My family is obsessed with these cookies!! Definitely my favorite healthy cookie recipe. Thank you!!
Thank you Deborah! I’m so happy to hear you and your family love them 🙂
Can I swap out the almond flour for a different nut free flour?
Sorry just seeing this! I just shared a nut free cookie recipe on the blog ☺️
