Description
Rich and chewy gluten-free chocolate cookies with gooey brownie-like centers. These sugar-free low-carb cookies are intensely chocolatey, soft in the middle, and crisp around the edges.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Optional:
Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix egg, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a thick dough forms.
5. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips evenly.
6. Scoop dough onto prepared tray and gently flatten slightly.
7. Optional: sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers stay soft.
9. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes before serving for best fudgy texture.
Notes
Do not overbake if you want gooey brownie centers.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
Cookies firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
