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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and erythritol until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and well blended.
- Form the Dough: Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until a dough forms. Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips if you’re using them for added texture and flavor.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. This ensures a chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up.
Notes
- You can substitute erythritol with monk fruit sweetener based on your preference.
- Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
