Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 cookie
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best mixing.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and baking soda, whisking them together to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Line a small baking sheet or microwave-safe plate with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Using your hands or a spoon, shape the dough into a single cookie, pressing it down to create a round, flat shape approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- If using an oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown.
- If using a microwave, cook for 45-60 seconds, checking at 30-second intervals to prevent overcooking.
- Remove from heat and let the cookie cool for 2-3 minutes to allow it to set and become slightly crisp.
- Transfer to a plate and enjoy your single-serve paleo cookie while still warm.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk dry ingredients carefully to eliminate lumps and create a consistent dough.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chocolate chips gently to ensure even spread throughout the cookie.
- Shaping Technique: Press the dough into a uniform 1/2 inch thick circle for even baking.
- Cooking Options: Choose between oven (8-10 minutes at 350°F) or microwave (45-60 seconds) based on your preference and available equipment.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cookie to rest 2-3 minutes after cooking to achieve the perfect crisp exterior and soft interior.
- Customize Your Cookie: Experiment with different paleo-friendly add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for variety.
