Instructions

Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened applesauce, sugar, peanut butter, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and a dough forms.
Fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
Take about two tablespoons of this raw cookie dough and place it onto the prepared baking cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a spoon, gently press down on each cookie dough ball to flatten slightly (please see the video).
Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. You'll also aim for crispy edges. The baking time can vary depending on your oven. In my experience, it took around 15-18 minutes to bake (but it may take more or less time for you).
Remove the baked cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Almond Flour Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Notes

Refer to the post above for video instructions and other useful information.
Nutrition information is an estimate and will depend on your specific ingredients.
To store these cookies, allow them to cool completely first. Then, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Alternatively, you can freeze the cookies by placing them in a freezer bag or container for up to 2-3 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before enjoying them again.

Quick Tip: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto the baking sheet. This ensures that all your cookies are uniform in size, which helps them bake evenly. It also saves time compared to shaping each cookie by hand.
