Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2/3 cup erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick silicone tray.
- Cream: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sweetener until smooth and glossy. Let the aroma hypnotize you.
- Bind: Add egg and vanilla. Whisk until it looks like silk. This is where craving begins.
- Build: Fold in almond flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms. It's okay to taste it—yes, it’s safe.
- Drop: Scoop heaping spoonfuls onto the tray. Shape gently. Add extra chocolate chips if you’re feeling bold.
- Bake: 10–12 minutes until edges turn golden. Don’t overbake—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Rest: Let them cool for 10 minutes. This is the hardest part—but also the most important. The flavor settles. The texture sets. You build anticipation.
- Devour: Pair with coffee, almond milk, or your favorite ritual. No one stops at one. But you already knew that.
Pro Tips & Common Mistakes
- Pro Tip: Use browned butter for a deeper, nutty flavor that turns every bite into emotional nostalgia.
- Pro Tip: Let the dough chill for 20–30 minutes if you want a thicker cookie with a denser center.
- Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of flaky salt on top before baking—it triggers flavor contrast that intensifies sweetness perception.
- Mistake: Overbaking. They’ll feel soft at 12 minutes—this is perfect. They firm up as they cool.
- Mistake: Using coarse almond meal instead of blanched almond flour. Texture matters in this war.
- Mistake: Skipping salt. Salt isn’t optional—it activates flavor signals in the brain.
