Great for a quick chocolate fix or as part of a larger planned dessert menu. This recipe is also pareve and dairy free, do you can have it with any meal!

- Quick to prepare - It is an understatement to say that Passover is a busy time. It's nice to have a cookie recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes.
- Easy to make - Pesach baking recipes can be tricky to get right since we don't use the regular ingredients we are used to. This recipe is super simple and takes 3 easy steps.
- Super tasty - Fortunately, almond flour provides a delicious alternative to whole wheat flour. These really are the best Passover chocolate chip cookies. They come out moist and chewy every time.
- Is not messy - this recipe does not need you to separate out eggs or use an electric mixer. Both of those can result in big kitchen messes.
How to make Easy Passover Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe step by step
Step 1 - Mix the ingredients
Mix the ½ cup brown sugar, baking soda, salt, oil, vanilla extract, almond flour and ½ cup chocolate chips together in a mixing bowl by hand. Then, beat the egg and mix in until incorporated. (No need to separate out the egg).
Step 2 - Scoop and flatten
Place scoops of batter that are 1-2 tablespoon each on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a large spoon or the heel of your palm to gently press down and flatten the cookies.
Step 3 - Bake and Cool
Bake 10-12 minutes at 350ºF. You will know they are done when the edges start to brown. Do not over bake! Let cool on a rack for 20 minutes.
