Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or a low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 pieces Sugar-free chocolate candies (e.g., sugar-free chocolate kisses or drops)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol (or chosen sweetener), baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky yet moldable.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press a small indent into the center of each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes. The cookies should be firm but not overly hard. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 2–3 minutes.
Gently press a sugar-free chocolate candy into the center of each cookie while they are still warm. The candies may slightly melt but will firm up as the cookies cool.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
