Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick, softened)
- ⅓ cup sugar-free brown sugar*
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups fine almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix butter and sugar: Add the softened butter and sugar-free brown sugar to a stand mixer and beat until combined and fluffy. Alternatively, use a mixing bowl and an electric hand whisk for this step.
- Add egg and vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients: Scrape the bowl again and add the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Beat on high speed until a sticky dough forms and all ingredients are fully combined. Then, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Optional chilling: Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure thorough mixing. If the dough feels soft and greasy, refrigerate it for 1 hour before baking. If it is firm and holds together well, proceed to baking immediately.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Shape cookies: Measure out ⅓ cup portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough spacing for spreading. You should have 7 dough balls in total.
- Bake cookies: Bake for 11 to 15 minutes. For chewy cookies, bake 10 to 11 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake 13 to 15 minutes, depending on your preference.
- Cool and serve: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes to set properly and avoid crumbling when handled.
Notes
- Use fine almond flour for the best texture and consistency in your cookies.
- If your dough feels too greasy, chilling for an hour helps firm it up and improves handling.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For sweeter cookies, adjust the sugar-free sweetener quantity to taste.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to ensure they hold together well and maintain their chewy texture.
