Keto Chocolate Crunch Cookies
How to Make It
Step
Recipe Steps steps 4 1 h 5 min
Step 1
Blend room temperature butter in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until it’s soft and creamy, scraping the bowl down with a rubber spatula whenever necessary. Once the butter is creamy, blend the first amount of powdered erythritol into the mixer. After the erythritol is blended in, then you can mix in the egg, yolk, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Blend the mixture at a higher speed to ensure the butter and eggs completely blend.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and blend at a low speed until a batter comes together. The cookie dough will be very sticky and soft. Transfer the cookie dough to your refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes or until the dough has firmed up. When the dough is chilled, you can continue to the next step.
Step 3
Turn on the oven to preheat to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the firm cookie dough into 2-tablespoon portions, and roll each portion into a ball. Sprinkle the final amount of erythritol on a clean dish, and roll just the top of each cookie ball in the sweetener. Each cookie should have only about ½ teaspoon sweetener on top. Arrange the balls on the tray.
Step 4
Use the back of a spoon to gently press the tops of the cookies down until they flatten about halfway. Place the cookies in your oven to bake for 20 minutes. The cookies will puff up significantly in the center and have a crunchy texture from the powdered erythritol. The edges of the cookies may be slightly darker and crisp. Wait for the cookies to cool before sprinkling additional powdered sweetener on them at your discretion.
