Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Ground almonds
- 4 tablespoons Granulated artificial sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground almonds, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated artificial sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and add the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
If you're using sugar-free dark chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly dry.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
