Magic Keto Cookies recipe


  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

 

  1. 1 cup almond flour: This gluten-free and low-carb alternative to traditional flour contributes a nutty flavor and a tender texture, making it an excellent base for keto baking.
  2. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: The star of the show, this ingredient provides the cookies with a deep, rich chocolate flavor without any added sugars.
  3. 1/4 cup sweetener (like erythritol or stevia): These sugar substitutes keep the cookies sweet while ensuring they remain low in carbohydrates, allowing you to indulge without exceeding your daily carb limit.
  4. 1/2 tsp baking powder: This leavening agent is essential for achieving the perfect cookie texture, providing lift and making the cookies light and airy.
  5. 1/4 tsp salt: A dash of salt enhances the overall flavor profile, balancing the sweetness and bringing out the rich chocolate notes.
  6. 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted): Coconut oil not only adds moisture and a subtle coconut flavor but also infuses the cookies with healthy fats, making them more satisfying.
  7. 1 tsp vanilla extract: This classic flavor complements the chocolate, adding depth and richness to the overall taste of the cookies.
  8. 1 large egg: Acting as a binder, the egg helps hold all the ingredients together, ensuring the cookies have a cohesive texture.
  9. 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional): For those who crave an extra burst of chocolate, sugar-free chocolate chips can be folded into the dough, adding a delightful surprise in every bite.

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial as it ensures your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect texture.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients, which will contribute to the cookies’ uniform texture.
  3. Incorporate wet ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until the dough is well combined. The mixture should come together to form a thick, cohesive dough.
  4. Add chocolate chips: If you’re opting for extra chocolate goodness, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent sticking and make the cleanup process a breeze.
  6. Scoop dough: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave ample space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies, as you want the edges to be firm while the centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your cookies warm or at room temperature, savoring each bite of chocolatey goodness!
