Ingredients (Makes 12–14 Cookies)

1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil)
½ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.

Tips for Blood-Sugar Friendly Baking

Use monk fruit or erythritol blends that measure like sugar.
Almond flour keeps carbs lower and adds healthy fats.
Avoid overbaking — low-carb cookies firm up after cooling.
Store in airtight container to maintain softness.
