Keto Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ Vegan & VERY LOW Carb (Includes Dairy Free Option)

 

These Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies feature a
tasty blend of coconut, almond & chocolate flavors.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup Lakanto Golden Monkfruit sweetener

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

1 teaspoon butter extract

2 1/2 cups almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt

1/4 cup (2 ounces) sugar free dark chocolate chips*

3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) sugar free milk chocolate chips**

Method:

Preheat oven to 325*. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the coconut oil, in a large microwave safe mixing bowl, for about 25 seconds in a microwave oven. Add the sweetener, water and extracts. Stir with a fork until well blended. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Fold in the dark chocolate chips. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form 20 portions. Form each portion into a circle 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Place on the prepared cookie sheets. (While baking, the cookies will not spread.) Divide the milk chocolate chips evenly between the cookies and gently press into the cookie dough. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove the tray, rotate and return to the oven for an additional 6 minutes, or just until the edges are a light golden brown. Cool completely before serving. Makes 20 cookies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator.

*Use dairy free chocolate chips if you are following a dairy free diet.

**If desired, all dark, or all milk chocolate chips may be used, instead of a mixture.

Notes: 

If you like the flavor of marzipan, you can add  the almond extract to the dough. 

Lily's makes a variety of baking chips that can change the flavor of these cookies. Try mixing peanut butter & chocolate chips or butterscotch & chocolate chips.

These cookies taste best at room temperature and can be stored outside of the refrigerator for 4 days. (They will keep longer, if stored in the refrigerator.)

My family and I thought these cookies  taste best completely cooled, at room temperature. But...they were even better, the next day, chilled in the refrigerator!
