From the kitchen
🍪Ahavat Ava’s “From the Heart” Cookies
These are the cookies I never measure. I never write down. I just feel them. But now I had to add measurements for all of you guys… because I love you too much 🤍 They’re soft, warm, a little gooey in the center — and somehow always come out perfect. My husband’s favorite cookies ever ever ever. Made the way all the best things are… from the heart 🤍 Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar–free ✨
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 large egg (or 2 for softer, more cake-like cookies)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2–3/4 cup chocolate chips (measure with your heart 🤎)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven — 350°F and line a baking sheet.
- 2
Mix the wet ingredients — Whisk together coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- 3
Add the dry — Mix in baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- 4
Add almond flour — Stir in almond flour until a soft dough forms. It should be scoopable, not runny.
- 5
Chocolate, always — Fold in chocolate chips.
- 6
Bake — Scoop onto your baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are soft.
- 7
Let them rest — They’ll firm up as they cool — this is where the magic happens.
Ava's Little Touches 🤍
- ✦Flaky salt on top takes them to another level
- ✦Slightly underbake for that soft, gooey center
- ✦Best eaten warm (non-negotiable)
- ✦2 eggs = softer / 1 egg = chewier
- ✦If you really want to achieve the Ahavat Ava husband-famous cookies… don’t overthink it. Don’t obsess over perfect measurements. Just do it from the heart, like I always do 🤍
