Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, keto-friendly sweetener, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed. Then crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract if using. Mix thoroughly until a thick, fudgy dough forms.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly into a cookie shape with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  3. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center. They should have a fudgy consistency once cooled.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting time helps the cookies firm up and develop their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help the dough bind well.
  • For extra fudgy cookies, avoid overbaking; they should be soft when removed from the oven.
  • You can add a handful of chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free and low-carb, suitable for keto and diabetic diets.
