- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4-1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine butter, almond flour, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Stir until you get a smooth dough.
- Taste the dough and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or chocolate chips if desired.
- Scoop using a small cookie scoop, forming 1-inch cookie dough balls.

Notes
For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter. Choose high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor. Almond flour adds healthy fats and a nice texture. Optional add-ins include nuts or dried fruits.
