Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (175g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (30g) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated erythritol
  • 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener (optional)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • ¾ cup (130g) sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with erythritol and monk fruit sweetener (if using) until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until thick but moist. Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time if dough feels too dry.
  6. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips gently to avoid overmixing.
  7. Drop rounded scoops of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with fingers or back of a spoon.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use fresh almond flour to avoid crumbly texture. Cool cookies on a rack to maintain chewiness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and egg with flax egg.
