Why You Should Make These Chocolate Brownie Cookies
You just need 7 simple ingredients to make these yummy cookies. If you already follow a low carb diet, then you most likely already have everything to make these cookies in your pantry and refrigerator.
And if you are just interested in trying this recipe or just starting out on your low carb journey, you most likely just need to order the Monk fruit, coconut flour and sugar free chocolate chips. Don't worry, I linked them so you can order right from here!
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.
How To Make These Chocolate Brownie Cookies
These are super simple to prepare, you can absolutely have your kids help with making these. Mix all of the ingredients, scoop them onto a baking sheet and BAM!
Ok, it might not be that simple, but I promise they are super easy.
Mix together the dry ingredients.
Add the almond butter, egg, vanilla extract and mix well.
Give it a good mix to make sure everything is combined.
Gently add the chocolate chips and mix again.
Scoop batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are crispy!
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. I love sweet and salty and this is just the right balance.
I used the coarse salt to really add some texture but you can easily use a finer salt if you would like.
But I am and always will be a salt girl. Extra salt on mine always.
Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips
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.
Typically cookies that are baking in an oven preheated to 350 degrees take between 8-12 minutes depending on the size of the cookie.
Leave them on the baking sheet right out of the oven for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack for chewy cookies.
