Great Sugar Free-low carb Chocolate Chip Cookie

It's not always easy to find a good recipe that our kids will like eating. The texture is always off and most of all the flavors just aren't right. But, this recipe isn't too bad. The cookies are quite yummy. 



Some of the recipes I’ve tried were dry, flat and crispy. These decadent cookies however are soft, chewy and moist and not the greasy or under cooked kind. They have a great density, meaning that they’re nice and thick. You can also add pecans or sea salt to really pack a punch.


MAKE IT AT HOME

  • Ingredients:

  • 11/4 cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup sweetener
  • ⅓ cup sugar free chocolate chips or high % cacao chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour baking soda and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low-medium speed, cream butter, sweetener, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix until evenly mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Drop 1-2 tablespoon size mounds of dough onto baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart. Using your the palm of your hand or the bottom of a clean cup, flatten the cookies to the desired size and thickness.
  6. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly golden around the edges. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Baking with almond and coconut flour can be pretty tricky but these cookies are fool-proof and the recipe is nice and detailed. This recipe should be just as easy as baking ordinary chocolate chip cookies, just a lot less guilt at the end.
