Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (use dairy-free butter if preferred)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (130g) sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener) using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  9. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. Once completely cooled, enjoy or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15 minutes before baking. Lower oven temperature by 10°F if your oven runs hot. Avoid overmixing dough after adding flour to prevent tough cookies. Measure almond flour by spooning into cup and leveling off for accuracy.
