Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. With one half, mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
Take approximately 1 tablespoon of plain dough and roll it into a ball. Take another tablespoon of the cocoa dough and roll it into a ball.
Gently press the two balls together and slightly flatten them to form a cookie shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
Press a few low carb chocolate chips into the top of each cookie for added decoration and flavor.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
