Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until a consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a more uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies appear slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
