Recipe Ingredients

Almond butter- Make sure you read your ingredient labels, not all almond butters are the same. Make sure it only contains almonds and maybe salt.
Egg
Monk Fruit sweetener- I used the granular form of Monk Fruit for this recipe. The brand I use all the time is this one.
Cocoa powder- You will need to read the ingredients in your cocoa powder as well and make sure there is no added sugar. I use this one and the ingredients are only organic cocoa and nothing else. I use dark cocoa powder because I love dark chocolate and I love the deep color, but you can use whatever you like. I have also made them with regular cocoa and they were just as yummy.
Coconut flour- Coconut flour is light, naturally sugar free and low in carbs which makes it extremely versatile for low carb baking. I always use this coconut flour for my baking.
Baking soda
Sugar Free Chocolate Chips- Please read the ingredients for your sugar free chocolate chips. Many of them contain large amounts of sugar alcohols which can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. I use these sugar free chocolate chips all the time.
Vanilla Extract- I use pure vanilla extract which doesn't contain any artificial flavors or additives, it's just pure vanilla made from alcohol.

Don't you just love that deep chocolate color?

Personally I think the little sprinkle of salt on top is a must have, but you can easily leave that off if you'd like.

Who doesn't love sweet and salty? This is just the right balance.

Coarse salt is really yummy because it adds texture but you can easily use a finer salt, for instance.

Extra salt on mine always.

Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips

Can I freeze these cookies for later?

These cookies freeze really well too if you want to avid the temptation of overindulging. I totally get that and frequently freeze my desserts. I typically freeze them in individual plastic bags so I can easily just take out one cookie and let it defrost on the counter for 10 minutes when I have a chocolate or sweet craving. This also makes it a little harder to eat too much in one sitting.

How will I know when the cookies are done baking?

Typically cookies that are baking in an oven preheated to 350 degrees take between 8-12 minutes depending on the size of the cookie.

How can I make my cookies more chewy?

Leave them on the baking sheet right out of the oven for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack for chewy cookies.
