Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed black beans, almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, egg, melted butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth and thick dough.
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges look set and the tops feel slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
