Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- scant 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar or powdered erythritol
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or additional milk
Optional
- powdered sugar or erythritol to coat
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, mini chocolate chips, and powdered sugar or erythritol until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients to Form Dough: Pour in the milk of choice and coconut oil (or additional milk) to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough feels too wet, refrigerate it until firm enough to handle.
- Form Cookie Balls: Once the dough is firm, roll it into balls using your hands or a cookie scoop, shaping each ball evenly for consistent baking.
- Prepare Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking before placing your cookie dough balls onto the tray.
- Optional Flattening: For flatter cookies, gently press each ball down with a fork or spoon before baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake your cookies for 11 minutes, allowing them to develop a fudgy texture.
- Cooling and Coating: After baking, let the cookies cool completely on the tray before handling. If desired, roll the cooled cookies in additional powdered sugar or erythritol for a sweet coating.
Notes
- Do not omit or reduce the chocolate chips to maintain the cookies’ fudgy and delicious texture.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it longer to firm up before shaping.
- Use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully keto-friendly.
- These cookies pair wonderfully with unsweetened almond milk for a guilt-free treat.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
