Chocolate Chip Keto Cookies

5ho Doesn't Love a Chocolate Chip Cookie!?

My latest creation contains less than 2g of carbs per serve, but I must warn you.. they are highly addictive!!

These cookies contain 5 simple ingredients and take less than 20 minutes to prepare and bake. They go down a treat with a lovely cup of tea and will keep well in an airtight container for up to a week.

You will need:

125g unsalted butter
2 cups almond meal
1 tsp almond essence
40g 70% dark chocolate
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)

1. Chop butter and place in a microwave safe bowl, soften butter well.
2. Add almond meal and almond essence to the softend butter and blend well (by hand or using a hand mixer)
3. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and add to the mixture which should be quite soft and moist.
4. Pour the sliced almonds into a small bowl
5. Using a tablespoon, spoon out small portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Press the balls flat in the sliced almonds and place on a lined baking tray.
6. Bake at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes

The cookies will be very soft once you take them out of the oven. Set them aside and allow them to cool down for half an hour. They will harden as they cool.

I have decided not to add any sugar or sweetener but you may use a sweetener of your choice if you like a sweeter cookie!

Enjoy!
