Keto Flourless Fudge Cookies
Delightfully chewy and fudgy cookies that are low in carbs and guilt-free, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without breaking your diet.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice) Almond butter provides a rich flavor, but you can use peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened) Ensure it is unsweetened to keep the cookie low in carbs.
- 1/2 cup sweetener (erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener) Adjust the sweetener to taste.
- 1 large egg Acts as a binding agent.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract For added flavor.
- 1/2 tsp baking soda Helps the cookies rise.
- 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s warm by the time your cookie mixture is ready.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, egg, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-integrated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm.
- Allow your cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Experiment with different nut butters for flavor variation. Adjust the sweetener based on your taste preference. Don’t overbake; the cookies will continue cooking after being removed from the oven.
