Ingredients (Makes 12–14 Cookies)
-
1 ½ cups almond flour
-
¼ cup coconut flour
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
Pinch of salt

½ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sweetener
In another bowl, beat softened butter with the sugar substitute until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
4️⃣ Add Egg & Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
5️⃣ Combine & Fold in Chips
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips.
6️⃣ Shape & Bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Centers may look soft — they’ll firm up as they cool.
7️⃣ Cool Completely
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
