Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sweetener:
   • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together softened butter and powdered erythritol until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Shape Cookies:
   • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use your hands to slightly flatten each cookie dough ball.
7. Bake Cookies:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The cookies will still be soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
