With only 18 minutes total preparation and baking time, you can enjoy these guilt-free cookies that are dairy-rich and naturally sweetened without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sweetener (keto-friendly)
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 medium egg (not large)
  • 2 tbsp double/heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, very soft

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate (50g, 85% cocoa solids minimum or sugar-free chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix base ingredients: Combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, vanilla bean paste, egg, double/heavy cream, and softened butter in a bowl. Use a fork to mix thoroughly until well combined. Allow the dough to rest for a few minutes to let the almond flour absorb the moisture completely.
  3. Add chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces if not using chips. Stir the chopped chocolate into the rested dough ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  4. Shape cookies: Using your hands or a spoon, form small dough balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press each ball down to approximately 1/2 cm thickness to shape your cookies.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for around 13 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool; they will firm up after cooling as they are softer when fresh out of the oven.

Notes

  • Allowing the dough to rest helps the almond flour absorb the wet ingredients, improving texture.
  • Make sure the butter is very soft to easily incorporate into the dough.
  • Use dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa solids or sugar-free chocolate chips to keep the carb count low.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
