Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies + 6 Ways To Use Almond Flour

Gluten-free and paleo-friendly, this recipe for Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies makes just 6 cookies. Perfect for when you don’t want 2 dozen cookies sitting around to tempt you!

Hi Friends!

I haven’t been this excited to share a recipe in a while! These cookies are just so darn good! I’ve been trying to perfect the small batch cookie forever but for some reason I could just never get the batch small enough. I always ended up making 8 or 12. I wanted 6. This recipe is the answer. It makes 6 perfectly sized cookies.

I’m all for making a big batch of cookies when I have people to share them with, but if it’s just me eating them, sometimes I don’t want 2-3 dozen sitting at home. This post is the second in a series of ingredient spotlight roundup posts I’m doing with some bloggy friends!

This month we chose almond flour as our ingredient and I immediately knew I wanted to focus on perfecting this recipe I’d been tweaking for a while. Using almond flour makes these gluten-free and the remaining ingredients keep them paleo-friendly as well. Just FYI, I’ve made them with coconut oil instead of butter to make them dairy-free and they work just find. They spread out a little more and are a bit more crumbly but still taste good. However, I definitely prefer the butter version. If you use butter, just soften it, don’t melt. If you use coconut oil, use it in solid form, not liquid.

So here’s how you make them:
