Preparations

Begin by preheating the oven to 180C / 350F electrical or 160C / 320F fan-assisted.

Subsequent, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. That is one of the best ways to stop cookies from sticking to the baking sheet. It really works a lot better than greasing the sheet with butter or oil.

Make The Dough

STEP 1: Add the almond flour, egg, cream, butter, vanilla extract and granulated sweetener into a big mixing bowl.

Combine the whole lot with a fork – it comes collectively actually simply.

Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes for the flour to soak up the moisture.

Bake

STEP 5: Bake the cookies within the oven for round 13 minutes or till the perimeters are golden brown.

As almond flour doesn’t comprise gluten, low carb cookies are all the time softer than their wheaten counterparts. The browned edges nonetheless have a stunning crunch although.

Crispy Cookies

There are a number of choices to make keto chocolate chip cookies crispier:

1. Substitute the cream with extra butter.

2. Flatten them extra! The thinner your cookies are, the crispier they are going to find yourself.

3. Bake them for longer. You need the perimeters to be golden-brown. Contemplate putting aluminium foil over the cookies so they do not burn and add one other couple of minutes to the oven time.

4. Flip off the oven when they’re accomplished and prop the door open with a picket spoon. Then you definitely go away the cookies in for longer. The air circulating round them will assist them to proceed crisping up.

Chewy Cookies

3. Be careful that your cookies don’t brown a lot. Take them out as quickly as the perimeters begin to flip golden!

4. Contemplate changing the erythritol with xylitol or allulose. Particularly allulose is nice for gentle baked items.

Cream Vs Butter

I had them each within the oven for precisely the identical time (13 minutes). The butter-only cookie browned greater than the one which additionally contained cream. It additionally unfold extra.

Extra Variations

Listed here are extra concepts on how one can change up the recipe. All tweaks have been examined on my own through the years.

Coconut flour chocolate chip cookies: Use 40 grams or ⅓ cup of coconut flour as an alternative of almond flour. Coconut flour absorbs much more moisture than almond flour, that is why you want much less of it. Chances are you’ll wish to add ½ a teaspoon of xanthan gum to make them a bit of firmer.

Further fluffy cookies: Add ½ teaspoon of baking powder or ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.

Dairy-free: Use coconut oil as an alternative of the butter.

No egg: This low carb chocolate chip cookies recipe additionally works with out the egg! The tip result’s crispier (but in addition extra fragile when scorching). Add an additional splash of cream to loosen the dough. 

Pinch of sea salt: Provides much more taste to the cookie dough.

Make them nutty: Add ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts to the dough. Should you resolve to do that, hold the cookies bigger and thicker so they do not crumble.
