Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large Egg (at room temperature)
- 1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract
Sweeteners
- 1/3 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 3 tbsp Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
Dry Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream the butter and sweeteners: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter along with both Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend and Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated to create a smooth batter.
- Incorporate almond flour and salt: Gradually beat in the blanched almond flour, adding about half a cup at a time, followed by the sea salt, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Add xanthan gum: Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the dough and beat again to integrate, which helps provide structure to the cookies.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing the dough.
- Scoop and shape cookies: Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out tightly packed, rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with your palm to about 1/3 inch thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Oven times may vary based on thickness and your oven’s calibration.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before handling to allow them to set properly.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Do not dump xanthan gum in; sprinkle it to avoid clumping.
- Using a medium cookie scoop helps create uniform cookie sizes for even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool fully on the baking sheet as they firm up while cooling.
- This recipe is perfect for keto and low-carb diets due to the use of almond flour and monk fruit sweeteners.
