Ingredients

2 ½ cups almond flour (super fine)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup erythritol (or your favorite sugar substitute like monk fruit or stevia)¼ cup coconut oil (or more butter if preferred)1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (or cacao nibs for even fewer carbs)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, coconut oil, and erythritol until the mixture is smooth and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 4: Add Egg and Vanilla

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue mixing until everything is well combined.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients (almond flour mixture) into the wet ingredients and stir until the dough is well combined.

Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs.

Step 7: Scoop and Shape the Dough

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8: Bake

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9: Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Low-Carb Cookies

Use super fine almond flour. This ensures a smooth texture and prevents the cookies from being gritty.
Don’t overbake. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so take them out when the edges are just golden.
Customize the mix-ins. Try adding chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sugar-free white chocolate chips for variety.

Store properly. These cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Variations

Double Chocolate Cookies
Add 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a rich, chocolatey twist.

Peanut Butter Cookies
Replace the coconut oil with ¼ cup creamy peanut butter for a nutty flavor.

Lemon Coconut Cookies
Add 1 tbsp lemon zest and ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut to the dough for a tropical twist.

How to Store These Cookies

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
