Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…“ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- â…“ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated erythritol until the mixture is well combined and uniform in texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, one large egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Form the Dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until a dough forms. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them bake evenly.
- Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and firm. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature egg and melted butter that is not hot.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of erythritol or monk fruit sweetener according to taste preferences.
- If you do not have sugar-free chocolate chips, you can omit or substitute with chopped nuts for added texture.
- Flatten cookies slightly before baking to ensure even cooking and desired texture.
