Soft, chewy, and bursting with chocolatey goodness, these sugar-free chocolate chip cookies are a guilt-free snack perfect for anyone craving a healthy treat without compromising on flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut oil, melted (refined for neutral flavor)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (65g) monk fruit sweetener
  • 3/4 cup (130g) sugar-free chocolate chips (recommend Lily’s brand)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (30g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with monk fruit sweetener until combined. Stir in melted coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden but centers remain soft. Start checking after 8 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy. Use room temperature eggs to prevent coconut oil from seizing. Fresh almond flour is recommended for best flavor and texture. If cookies seem dry, add a tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce next time. Cooling cookies on the baking sheet before transferring helps maintain softness. For vegan version, substitute egg with flax egg and use vegan butter or coconut oil.
