Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Fold the sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies 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 a week or freeze them for longer storage.
