Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12-15 minutes
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or stevia blend
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) optional
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A baking sheet should be lined with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol (or stevia blend) until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a cookie dough forms. If you choose to include nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form 24 evenly sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten and Bake: Flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. In a preheated oven, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the sides are golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
