Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. Prepare the Flax Egg:
    • If using a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Stir in the coconut oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and prepared flax egg. Mix until a dough forms. It should be thick but not too dry. If it feels too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
    • Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.

Step 3: Bake the Cookie Bars

  1. Press the Dough into the Pan:
    • Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into the bottom. Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  2. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. The bars will continue to firm up as they cool.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

  1. Cool Completely:
    • Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut them into squares.
  2. Serve:
    • Enjoy your keto chocolate chip cookie bars on their own or with a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!

Tips and Variations:

  1. Add-Ins: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch, or sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty combo.
  2. Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  3. Sweetness Adjustment: Taste your dough before baking (since it’s egg-free) and adjust the sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
