Ingredients

1.75 oz unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups almond flour (or finely ground almonds)
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 cup xylitol (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
0.25 tsp fine sea salt
0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher for best results)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, xylitol (or your chosen sweetener), and sea salt until everything is well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, the slightly cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir them together until a soft, uniform dough forms. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out 12 equal mounds of dough. Lightly roll each piece into a ball and place them on your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently press each dough ball with the bottom of a flat glass or your fingers to create a nice, even circular cookie shape.
Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. You'll hear a lovely, gentle sizzle from the cookies as they bake!
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They're soft and fragile when warm, so be gentle!
