Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour adds moisture and a nutty flavor
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda helps cookies rise slightly
- ⅓ cup erythritol a sugar substitute for sweetness
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder contributes rich chocolate flavor
Wet ingredients
- ¼ cup butter provides moisture and a rich texture
- 2 pieces eggs bind the ingredients for a cohesive dough
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances overall flavor
Add-ins
- ¼ cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips adds richness and texture
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking soda, erythritol, and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to blend.
- Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and whisk until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisk until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Using a dough scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flatting the tops gently.
Baking
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes, or until set and slightly puffed.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is softened but not melted. Allow cookies to cool completely for the best texture. Experiment with nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
