2 teaspoons butter, melted (use ghee or coconut oil for dairy free)
1 tablespoon creamy or chunky peanut butter, no sugar added (melted)
1 tablespoon beaten egg
2 teaspoons erythritol sweetener (such as LaKanto Monkfruit sweetener)
1/4 teaspoon stevia powder
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons mini dark chocolate chips (70% or higher)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit (176 degree Celsius). In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter), 1 tablespoon beaten egg, sweetener, stevia, baking powder, a pinch of salt and vanilla. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
2. Add in the almond flour and chocolate chips, mixing until a soft dough forms. Divide dough into two equal portions, place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten each into a circle about 1/2" thick (I used the bottom of a glass).
3. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cookie is set. (If you like a soft and chewy cookie, bake for 15 minutes.) Remove from oven and allow to sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool for about 10 minutes and serve.
