Keto Cookies

Total Time: 10m

Yield: 5 large or 10 small

Ingredients

1 cup finely ground almond flour
2-4 tbsp chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
2 tbsp powdered sugar or powdered erythritol, OR stevia equivalent
scant 1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2-3 tsp milk of choice, as needed
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Stir dry ingredients very well (so you don’t end up biting into a clump of baking soda!). Add wet to form a dough. Shape into cookies – I used a cookie scoop to first form balls and then shape into cookies. Place on a cookie tray, and bake on the center rack 10-12 minutes. Let cool an additional 10 minutes before handling, as they are very delicate at first but firm up completely once cool.

Cooked!

These are good cookies. Obviously, not as sweet and as exciting as a regular sugar/carb loaded chocolate chip cookie…but with the chocolate and the chewiness, I am happy! Great with milk or coffee. I used Truvia. Obviously, regular sugar is tastier, but I want to lose weight and still get a cookie fix!

Today, I am in the mood for a good cookie recipe. I rarely eat cookies, but sometimes I need one. And I want it to not ruin my diet. I have not tried this yet, but the reviews online are awesome and I will try it this weekend after I get a few ingredients! 6 g of carbs, 2 grams protein.

IN COMPARISON:

Mrs. Fields regular chocolate chip cookie is 28g of carbs, 2 protein and look at all of the ingredients. Most are NOT good for you. I am putting up the one with chocolate chips and walnuts to be similar to this recipe.

Taken from the Mrs. Fields website:

Enriched Bleached Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Sugar, Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Butter, Dextrose, Milk Fat, Soybean Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Brown Sugar, Sugar, Unsalted Butter, Margarine (Palm Oil, Soybean Oil, Water, Salt, Mono & Diglycerides, Soybean Lecithin, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Vitamin A Palmitate, Beta Carotene, Whey), Walnuts, Whole Eggs, Canola Oil, Water, Fructose, Monoglycerides, Salt, Natural Flavors, Wheat Fiber, Food Starch, Soybean Lecithin, Baking Soda, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Xanthan Gum.

(Besides all of the filler, preservatives, etc. It has Brown Sugar, Sugar, Fructose (three sugars) and Margarine (not healthy), natural and artifiical flavors, food starch and bleached wheat.)

My healthy recipe is simple and better for you~
