Ingredients
- 1 cup / 100g almond flour NOT super-fine**. Ground almonds work well here
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp / 21g cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp / 48g granulated erythritol

- ¼ cup / 30g sugar free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, minimum 85% cocoa solids (I used 90%)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (conventional oven).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl - almond flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and granulated erythritol.
- Add the egg and the softened butter and mix with a fork until you have a smooth dough.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix, keeping a few back to put on top of the cookies.
- Form 9 cookies and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They will spread a little, but not much - so shape them into the form you want them to have.

Notes
1.9 g net carbs per cookie (average weight: 35 grams).
The cookies are very fragile when hot. They firm up once cooled.
For a fudgier cookie, reduce the baking time to 10 minutes. For a crispy cookie, flatten and bake for up to 14 minutes.
Add a pinch of salt for some extra WOW.
**If using super-fine almond flour, reduce the amount to ¾ cup / 75g.
