Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour For structure and tenderness.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Use natural or Dutch-process for preferred intensity.
  • 1/2 cup sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia) For sweetness without sugar.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt To enhance flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder For slight lift.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce Replaces added sugar and fat.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional) For chocolate pockets.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar substitute, salt, and baking powder. Whisk briefly to remove lumps.
  3. Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and press each mound slightly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges look set and the centers feel a touch soft.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Dough can be formed into mounds and frozen until solid for later baking.
