Ingredients and Equipment Needed

• Almond Flour
• Chocolate Chips
• Zero Carb Sweetener
• Silicone Baking Mat – This yields better results than baking right on the pan.

Erythritol is naturally found in some fruits and vegetables, and even some fermented food. Your body processes it a lot differently than other sugar alcohols. Bottom line, it’s a lot less gassy. 

If you choose to use a zero-calorie sweetener other than monkfruit, like stevia, you will have to convert this serving into a much smaller allotment. 

How to Make Crispy Soft Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Add your sweetener to a mixing bowl with the butter. 
2. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix.
3. When baking, you combine the dry and wet ingredients separately. Combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt into another bowl, small or medium size is fine.
4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Mix.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Form cookie balls.
7. Bake.

Do You Use Baking Powder or Baking Soda in this Recipe?

For cut out cookies you use baking powder.

For chocolate chip cookies you use baking soda because it allows the dough to spread, giving you nice edges with a soft center.

How to Convert All-Purpose Flour into Servings for Almond Flour

I get this question often. This is great to know if you have your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe on hand, and you want to snatch it up a bit. Almond flour and all-purpose have 1:2 ratio, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour = 1 1/2 cups almond flour. Always cook almond flour at a lower temperature.

How to Keep the Cookies From Falling Apart and Crumbling

Make sure the cookies are finished cooking. This can be really tough to determine. Ultimately you don’t want to overcook the cookies to the point they are hard and aren’t soft. But you don’t want them too soft because when you go to remove them from the sheet, they will fall apart and crumble.

How Many Carbs?

Each cookie has 2 net carbs.

How to Store the Cookies

The cookies can remain at room temperature up to 4 days. Refrigerate thereafter.

Chocolate Chip Cookies Tips

• My cookies took about 15 minutes. This surprised me because cookies typically take 12-13 minutes in my oven. In order to test if the cookies were ready, I examined the center of each. If you can visibly still see cookie dough in the center, they aren’t finished.
• I also use one cookie as a test subject. I typically go for the cookie that doesn’t have the best shape. Then I try to scoop it up with my spatula. If it starts to crumble, then I know the cookies need more time.
• I fix the cookie up with clean fingers and spread a finger over the cookie to put it back together. From there, the cookies go back into the oven in 1-minute increments. And I check them again.
• If you aren’t concerned about cookie shape, dive right in!

You could follow all of my tips and still have cookies that crumble. It happens. I had to experiment with this recipe several times before getting it to my liking. It happened to me, too!
