Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Add the butter, coconut oil and sweetener to a bowl, and whip together with a hand mixer. Alternately, use a sand mixer to combine. Next, add in egg, vanilla, gelatin, baking soda and salt. Use the mixer to beat together well. Add the almond flour, and then use a spoon to combine with the wet ingredients. Stir until all the almond flour is mixed in. Add sugar free choc chips, chopped dark chocolate, or a combination of both, depending on your preference Mix in. Use a Tbsp to scoop heaping Tbsp of batter, and roll into ball. Place on the cookie sheet with at least 2 inches separating each cookie dough ball.

Step 2

Using hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup, flatten cookies to desired shape. Slightly thicker cookies will have a chewier, softer texture. Bake cookies for 9 minutes. They will look underbaked at this point, but when they cool will have a chewy, cookie dough type texture (which is perfect in my opinion). Baking the cookies longer gives the cookies a crunchier texture on the outside. Store in the refrigerator or freezer for best results, wrapped in airtight plastic or reusable container.

Step 3

Keto Friendly Additives: Pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts
coconut flakes (unsweetened)
cinnamon or ginger powder (turmeric is good also in small quantities)
freeze dried raspberries

Step 4

NOTES: Cookies using all sugar free choc chips have 1 net carb per cookie.
Adding 85% or 95% dark choc will raise the total net carb to 2-3 per cookie.

Gelatin is an important ingredient in these cookies. Without the gelatin, they will be crumbly and will not have a chewy texture. I do not use gums in my cooking, so have not tried Xantham Gum.
