Ingredients
Scale
Baking Essentials:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond butter (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol or similar)
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon melted salted butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 355°F / 180°C and prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
- Combine almond butter, powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, eggs, butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and baking powder in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until a dense, uniform mixture forms.
- Gently incorporate sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough using a flexible spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Carefully portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 12 uniform mounds or adjusting size for a larger yield of smaller cookies.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a glossy surface and the emergence of delicate surface cracks.
- Allow the freshly baked cookies to rest briefly on the baking sheet, giving them a moment to set and firm up before delicately transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option that’s equally delicious and safe for those with nut allergies.
- Experiment with different sugar-free chocolate chips like stevia-sweetened or monk fruit-sweetened varieties to customize the sweetness level.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a more compact, fudgy cookie texture.
- For added texture and nutrition, sprinkle chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes on top of the cookies before baking.
