Celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day with the best Chewy Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy National Cookie Day! In light of the best holiday, I’m sharing my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe with you! A little different from the traditional doughy chocolate chip cookies these chewy chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour. With a slight nuttiness, these chocolate chip cookies have a macaroon sheen, and chewiness, that gets better with time. These cookies keep their cafe style texture for days, simply keep them in an airtight container or ziplock bag. And enjoy!
