Description
This easy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe brings almond flour, erythritol, butter, egg, vanilla and a few more healthy ingredients to the bowl to create a fabulously crispy on the outside chewy on the inside low carb cookie that’s gluten-free, low carb, paleo and – most importantly – loved by fans of keto desserts and kids! Make these ahead and freeze or make them now because – it’s cookie time:)
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Almond Flour
- ½ Cup Granulated Erythritol So Nourished or Swerve (Or Coconut Sugar for Paleo)
- ½ Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (Lilly’s)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350
- Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with parchment paper
- Cream butter & erythritol (or your fave sweetener)with a hand or stand mixer on low – about 5 minutes then add egg and vanilla
- Add ½ cup of almond flour – blend – then add more – repeat (until all 1.5 cups almond flour is mixed in) Dumping it in all at once makes it harder to combine.
- Next, add in baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum and mix for another minute – make sure you take a moment to scrape the sides of the bowl so that no ingredient is left behind!
- Finally, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips
- Use a mini cookie scoop or a tablespoon to divide the dough into 15 cookies on a cookie sheet or baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Use a spoon or your hand to flatten each cookie
- Bake 10 – 12 Minutes
- They may appear a bit doughy after 12 minutes. Resist the temptation to add more oven time – almond flour cookies crisp as they cool!
- Cool before serving
- Store at room temp for 3-5 days or in the fridge for up to ten days.
Notes
To Freeze Baked Cookies: Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag- separate each cookie with a sheet of wax paper so they won’t stick together.
Freezing Dough – Scoop out the dough as if you were baking, then Put the pan of raw cookie dough into the freezer. Once frozen, place the cookie dough balls in a zip lock freezer bag with the name of recipe, baking temp & heating instructions – you may need to add a minute or two to the baking time since you’re working with frozen dough.
Use xanthan gum for chewier cookies. Leave it out if you like them crispier.
For Paleo, use grass-fed butter, ghee or coconut oil
