Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated erythritol together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Enjoy your delicious keto chocolate chip cookies! They are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without compromising your keto diet. For an extra twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a delightful sweet and salty combination. Happy baking!
