Mix almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk until combined, then set aside.

In another bowl, cream softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add an egg to the butter mixture and beat for about 20 seconds until fully incorporated.

Mix in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Fold in semisweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart.

Add a few more chocolate chips on top of each dough ball for appearance.

Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set, noting they may look soft when they come out but will firm up as they cool.

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
