Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 4<\/span> cups<\/span> Almond flour<\/span> (finely ground – I like Bob's Red Mill best)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> tsp<\/span> Kosher salt<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/2<\/span> tsp<\/span> Baking soda<\/span><\/li>
  • 8<\/span> TBSP<\/span> Unsalted butter<\/span> (1 stick – softened)<\/span><\/li>
  • 3\/4<\/span> cup<\/span> Confectioners Swerve sweetener<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> TBSP<\/span> Vanilla extract<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\/4<\/span> cup<\/span> Heavy whipping cream<\/span> (you can add more by the teaspoon if the dough seems too crumbly after mixing)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1-1\/2<\/span> cup<\/span> Sugar-free chocolate chips<\/span> (we love Lily's brand)<\/span><\/li>
  • 2\/3<\/span> cup<\/span> Chopped nuts – optional<\/span> (pecans or walnuts are delicious in this cookie)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Preheat oven to 325 F<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Mix dry ingredients except for sweetener together in a bowl or large measuring cup (flour, salt, soda)<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Cream the butter and Swerve in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Add the vanilla and cream, mix until well combined – NOT too long or you'll accidentally whip your cream too stiff for cookie dough<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Add the dry ingredients in half at a time, mixing until well combined<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using)<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Portion the cookies out using a 1-1.25 TBSP scoop on parchment paper on cookie sheets<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Gently press the cookies down to flatten out with the bottom of a glass or something – they will not spread out much at all, so target your desired post-baking size<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Bake at 325 for 15-20 min, until golden brown around the edges (these are a slow baker – if for some reason in your oven they are looking golden brown around the edges before 15 min is up, PULL THEM immediately)
      <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • IMPORTANT: let the cookies cool ON the sheets without lifting\/touching for at least 20 minutes<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Move the parchment to cooling racks and let cool at least 2 hours more before storing <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
        \n
      • If you don’t mind going a tad off the Keto path, you can add a half cup of low-sugar Craisins to these and they’re very tasty indeed.<\/li>\n
      • These cookies can go from perfect to burnt on the bottom and edges in a split-second. Watch them carefully, particularly if your oven has a known hot spot. I only use my AirBake cookie sheets for this dough – I find this really helps prevent them from getting too brown on the bottom.<\/li>\n
      • Be sure to let these cool down all the way before eating, or they’ll fall apart in your mouth, hand, and down your shirt.<\/li>\n
      • These improve in texture and flavor vastly after some time in the freezer. I now toss them into a freezer bag and in they go as soon as they are thoroughly cooled down. This approach also keeps them fresh for a couple of months.<\/li>\n
      • I did run the macros on this recipe for a few items that we were interested in tracking. These are per cookie:\n
