Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these delicious cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 12-15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, sweetener, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
To prevent crumbly dough, ensure accurate measurements and consider adding a tablespoon of water if the mixture seems dry. For a chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies, while crisp cookies can be achieved with a few extra minutes in the oven.
If you need variations, try nut-free by using sunflower seed flour, or make them dairy-free by substituting coconut oil for butter.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for long-term storage. Enjoy these delightful cookies as a snack or a treat whenever the craving strikes!
