½Cupsugar-free chocolate chips+ more for topping if desired
Flaked sea salt for topping
Instructions
Chop the butter into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Soften butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Remove and add the granulated erythritol and beat using a handheld mixer until well combined.
Add in the eggs and beat just until combined. Mix in the remaining ingredients until a dough forms. Chill dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a 1 ½ inch cookie scooper to drop cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Add extra chocolate chips now on top of the cookie dough balls if desired.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges is golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling
Notes
Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temp. This means they'll incorporate into the dough better.
You can swap the butter out for ghee.
If the cookies don’t drop into cookie shapes in the oven within the first 5 minutes, you can easily press them down with a fork midway through cooking.
If you are not using 100% pure erythritol, your cookies will not flatten completely.
Ideally use good quality, grass-fed, butter. Grass-fed butter contains up to 6 times more CLA which can help your body burn fat properly.
Use a wire rack to help the cookies cool properly, so they won't have a soggy base.
You can swap the chocolate chips for walnuts if you like.
You can omit the sea salt if you wish, but it does add a lovely flavor profile.
These Keto Cookies are done when the edges are starting to brown. They will still be lovely and soft on the inside!
If you want crispier Keto Cookies, bake them for a little bit longer. Remove from the oven when the edges go a little darker brown.
