How to Make Keto Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar-free sweetener
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3.5 oz keto-approved chocolate chips

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar substitute until smooth.
3. Beat in the egg, then mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually sprinkle the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, or leave it overnight for best results.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Let them rest on the baking tray for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

FAQs About Keto Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
No, regular flour will significantly increase the carb content, which isn’t suitable for a keto diet. Stick with almond flour or other low-carb alternatives.

How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies should be golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them as they can bake quickly, especially if your oven runs hot.

Can I make these cookies dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute instead of regular butter to make these cookies dairy-free.

How do I get my cookies to be more chewy?
For chewier cookies, don’t overbake them! Slightly underbaking can also keep them softer and chewier.
