Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

What you need

1 and 3/4 cups of almond flour
1/4 cup of ground flax seed
1 cup of confectioners erythritol sweetener
1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder

2 large eggs
1/2 a cup of unsalted softened butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 cup of sugar free chocolate chips
1 table spoon of icing sugar - optional

What you Do

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Mix all the wet ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and work them into a dough.
Add the chocolate chips and gently mix them into the dough.
Scoop spoon fulls of the dough onto the parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie and flatten them as thin as you'd like them.
Bake your chocolate chip cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until they are brown on top.
Dust a very thin layer of icing sugar over the cookies.

Variations and Ideas

I like to add ground flax seed into my baked products. I like the texture and the extra fiber that it gives to the cookie.

If you don't like the taste or the texture, replace it with almond flour.

I use powdered sugar in most of my baking. I prefer the texture and my biscuits doesn't get grainy.

You can use granulated sugar if you prefer or you can blend granulated sugar in your blender until it is as fine as you want it.

From a price point of view, it may be worth blending your own.

Generally there is not much of a price difference between the granular and the powdered sweeteners.

However, the granular sugar is obviously more popular and therefore can be bought in bigger bags. This makes them cheaper per ounce.

For the icing sugar effect on top of the cookies, just blend some sugar finer.

So, if you bake a lot, it may make sense to buy the bigger bags and then blend them yourself.

Be careful not to over bake your cookies. Rather take them out and check and put them back into the oven if they are not done.

Especially when you make them smaller, be aware that they will need less cooking time.

Experiment!

I always say this, but as we adapt to keto we may want less sweetness.

Different sugar alternatives may also taste different and could be more or less sweet.

Prefer a chewy chocolate chip cookie?

Then, watch Kyndra from Peace, Love and Low Carb make her keto flourless chewy double chocolate chip cookies.

These are double chocolate made with cocoa powder mixed into the cookie dough and then chocolate chips mixed in by hand.

They are also flourless, no almond or coconut flour.

She says that she takes them out of the oven at the 10 minute mark to flatten them a little making them chewy. Enjoy...
