Equipment
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Parchment Paper
- Large mixing bowl
- Electric Mixer
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 4 oz salted butter softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener like erythritol blend
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides – this makes lifting out your bars super easy later!
- Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the softened butter and granulated sweetener. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Goodness: Now, mix in the softened cream cheese, the egg, and the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is well incorporated. Don't worry if there are a few tiny lumps from the cream cheese; they'll smooth out.
- Combine Dry: Gently add the almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix on a low speed or by hand just until the dry ingredients are fully combined with the wet – be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in Chocolate: Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips. You'll notice the dough is quite thick, which is exactly right for these delicious bars.
- Bake to Perfection: Press the thick dough evenly into your prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing them into squares. This cooling step is crucial for getting that perfect chewy texture! Enjoy your guilt-free, delicious treat.
