Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (28 g / 0.99 oz) blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g / 0.99 oz) butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (24 g / 0.85 oz) granular erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon (0.5 g / 0.02 oz) sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g / 1.06 oz) sugar-free dark chocolate chips
  • For an extra decadent, nutty flavor, use browned butter. Simply melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat until it foams and develops brown specks, then let it cool slightly before mixing.
  • Customize your cookie by swapping the dark chocolate chips for sugar-free white chocolate, chopped pecans, or walnuts. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking is also a fantastic addition.
  • No ramekins? You can bake these as two separate cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form the dough into two mounds and flatten slightly. Reduce the baking time to 12-15 minutes.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Lightly grease two 4-inch (10cm) ramekins.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, softened butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a fork or spatula to mix until a soft dough forms and all are well incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Divide the cookie dough equally between the two prepared ramekins. Press the dough down lightly to form an even layer.
  6. Place the ramekins on a small, rimmed baking sheet for stability and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are a lovely golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Carefully remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, directly from the ramekins with a spoon.
  8. Don't overbake! For a perfectly soft and gooey center, pull the ramekins from the oven when the edges are just golden. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
