2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar or maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 - 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips I used 1/2 cup so the cookies are super chocolatey!, you can also use 1/2 cup regular chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla; mix until the brown sugar is dissolved. Add the mixture to the almond flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. The mixture will be crumbly.
Shape the dough into 12 balls, each using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough. If any chips fall out, simply press them into the cookies once they're on the baking sheet.
Transfer the balls to the prepared pan and press down gently, until the cookies are about 1/2-inch thick.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are just golden. Cool the cookies, on the baking sheet, on a wire rack.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
