Chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (finely ground, blanched)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened, or use coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup powdered Swerve (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero work great)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sweetener:

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and Swerve until light and fluffy. You can also do this by hand with a whisk.

3. Add Wet Ingredients:

  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips:

  • Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough.

6. Shape the Cookies:

  • Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten them with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a cookie shape.

7. Bake:

  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will be soft when they come out but will firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

8. Enjoy!:

  • Once cooled, the cookies will have a soft and chewy texture with crispy edges. Perfect for keto-approved snacking!
