Description
Delicious chocolate cookies made with almond flour and sweetened with Monkfruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup + 2 T Monkfruit sweetener (see notes)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 T dark cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
Instructions
- Put the butter in a plastic bowl on the counter and let it soften for a while before you start the cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 300F/150C. Put parchment paper sheets on to a large baking sheet.
- Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to combine the softened butter, Monkfruit Sweetener or sweeteners of your choice, salt, and vanilla.
- Then add the cocoa powder and almond flour and continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Scoop out the dough with a metal tablespoon measuring spoon and roll with your hands to make 20 balls.
- Use a fork to mash down the balls and make the cookies the same size.
- Bake cookies for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookies feel lightly firm to the touch when you press with a finger. They will be somewhat soft until they cool.
- Cool a few minutes on the baking sheet, then slide the parchment paper off onto a cooling rack and let them cool longer, about 30 minutes total cooling time.
Notes
- Consider using different sweeteners if preferred.
