Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (168g) super-fine blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup (96g) granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 cup (113g) grass-fed butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (60g) sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sweetener until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Sift the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture to prevent clumping.
- Use a silicone spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick, dark dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Portion the dough into 12 even balls using a cookie scoop. Place on the baking sheet and press down slightly with your palm.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack.
