Ingredients
- 1/4c butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4c monk fruit sweetener
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp gelatin or 1/3 tsp agar agar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3c sugar free choc chips or
- chopped 90% dark choc
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. Add the butter, coconut oil, and sweetener to a bowl, and whip together with a hand mixer. Alternately, use a stand mixer to combine. Next, add in egg, vanilla, gelatin, baking soda, and salt. Use the mixer to beat together well. Add the almond flour, and then use a spoon to combine with the wet ingredients. Stir until all the almond flour is mixed in. Add sugar free choc chips, chopped dark chocolate, or a combination of both, depending on your preference. Mix in. Use a tablespoon to scoop heaping tablespoons of batter, and roll into balls. Place on the cookie sheet with at least 2 inches separating each cookie dough ball. Using hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup, flatten cookies to desired shape. Slightly thicker cookies wil have a chewier, softer texture. Bake cookies for 9 minutes. They will look underbaked at this point, but when they cook will have a chewy, cookie-dough type texture (which is perfect in my opinion). Baking the cookies longer gives the cookies a crunchier texture on the outside. Store in the fridge or freeze for best results, wrap in airtight plastic or in a reusable container.
Step 2
Could also use pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts; Coconut flakes (unsweeteed), Cinnamon or ginger powder (turmeric is good in small quantities), Feeze dried raspberries.
Step 3
NOTES: Cookies using all sugar free choc chips have 1 net carb per cookied. Adding 85% or 90% darak choc will raise the total net carbs to 2-3 cookies.
Gelatin is an important ingredient in these cookies. Without the gelatin, they will be crumble and will not have a chewy texture.
