Calories: 91kcal
Equipment
- 2 large baking sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup Superfine Almond Flour
- ½ cup Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- ¼ cup Coconut Flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¾ cup Unsalted Butter softened
- ⅓ cup Brown Allulose ¼ cup if Erythritol
- ⅓ cup Granulated Allulose ¼ cup if Erythritol
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoon Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar or lemon juice
- Red Gel Food Coloring
- ⅔ cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In stand mixer - or in a large bowl with an electric mixer - cream butter and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
- Add eggs, milk, vanilla, and vinegar, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth. Use food coloring to tint the wet ingredients mix as brightly red as you’d like it.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until well combined. Wrap in plastic film, chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll 1" balls of cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get about 22 cookies from the batch.
- Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the tops of each slightly - flatten JUST enough to prevent the dough from rolling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
About 6 grams of carbs per cookie are coming from sugar alcohols. Add that to the 1 gram of fiber, and you're left with about 1 net gram of carbs per cookie, NOT including the chocolate chips.
Due to the wide variety of sugar free chocolate chips available, we decided to leave that part of the nutrition out of the calculations here.
There is less than ¾ of a Tablespoon worth of chocolate chips in each cookie, so it should be easy to figure out the additional carb count, based on your package of chocolate chips. (Likely only to be a gram or so!) Once cooled to room temperature, cookies can be stored in an airtight container for a week or so on the counter, longer if in the fridge.
