Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour (or any gluten-free flour of your choice)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup grass-fed butter, melted
• 3-4 tablespoons stevia powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (ensure they are sugar-free)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, melted grass-fed butter, stevia powder, egg, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the mixture is well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more coconut oil.

6. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, form small balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.

8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Enjoy your healthy, gluten-free, and sugar-free dark chocolate chip cookies!

Tips

• Flour Alternatives: If you don’t have almond flour, you can use other gluten-free flours like coconut flour or oat flour. Be aware that the texture may vary.
• Stevia Quantity: Adjust the amount of stevia according to your sweetness preference. Different brands of stevia have different levels of sweetness.
• Chocolate Chips: Make sure your dark chocolate chips are sugar-free. You can also chop up a sugar-free dark chocolate bar if you can’t find chips.
