Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Powdered erythritol for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up and become easier to handle.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out small balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
- Roll each dough ball between your palms to create smooth, round shapes.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Generously dust each cookie ball with powdered erythritol, creating a white crackled appearance.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes makes it easier to handle and helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Choose high-quality almond flour and cocoa powder for the best flavor and texture. The better the ingredients, the more delicious your cookies will be!
- Perfectly Dusting: For that classic crinkle look, be generous with the powdered erythritol. It not only adds a beautiful touch but also enhances the sweetness.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be set around the edges and slightly soft in the middle for that perfect chewy texture.
- Storage Secrets: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them and enjoy them later!
