  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream Butter & Sweetener:

  • In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

4. Combine Mixtures:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

5. Shape Cookies:

  • Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Flatten slightly on the baking sheet.

6. Bake:

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will be soft but firm up as they cool.

Tips for Success:

  1. Soft vs. Crispy:
    • For softer cookies, bake for 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, extend baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sweetener Swap:
    • Use allulose or a blend for a chewier texture, as erythritol can create a crunchier finish.
  3. Chocolate Choices:
    • Use sugar-free chocolate chunks or dark chocolate for extra richness.
  4. Dough Chilling:
    • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies that don’t spread much.

Recipe Variations:

  1. Nut-Free: Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour.
  2. Peanut Butter Lovers: Add 2 tbsp natural peanut butter to the dough.
  3. Coconut Bliss: Add unsweetened coconut flakes for extra texture.
  4. Keto S’mores: Add chopped keto marshmallows for a s’mores twist.
