Brighten up your chocolate chip cookies with ground turmeric for a sweet and spiced treat!
When I can’t decide if I prefer to eat cake or cookies, I opt for something in between – and these cake-like cookies are the perfect middle ground.
These perfectly-portioned cookies come with a moist, cake-like crumb. You’ll love how the warm flavor of turmeric melds with rich dark chocolate chips and the almond flour-based dough. A hefty dose of coconut oil keeps these cookies moist and cakey, while coconut sugar lends the perfect amount of sweetness.

Helpful Tips For Getting Started:
- Chill the dough before shaping. Because we’re using a significant amount of coconut oil in the recipe, I highly recommend that you chill the dough for at least 10 minutes before shaping it into small balls. Chilling the dough will firm it up a little and make it easier to handle and hold its shape.
- Let the cookies cool completely. These cookies have a cake-like crumb, and have to be fully cooled before you remove them from the sheet or they will break. Simply be patient and you’ll reap the benefits!
