Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream the refined coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond butter, and vanilla extract on medium speed for one minute until well combined.
Incorporate the room-temperature egg into the wet mixture on low speed, then slowly stir in the dry flour mixture until a thick, heavy dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips and refrigerate the dough for exactly one hour to allow the fibers to hydrate and the fats to stabilize.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), roll the chilled dough into 75-gram spheres, place on a parchment-lined sheet, and bake for 11 to 14 minutes until the centers are just set.

Notes

For the most consistent results, allow the baked cookies to rest on the hot baking sheet for at least 10 minutes after removal from the oven; this carry-over cooking is essential for the internal structure to set properly. If you substitute the almond butter with another nut butter, ensure it is well-stirred and at room temperature to maintain the correct lipid-to-fiber ratio in the emulsion.
