Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol (or sweetener), salt, and baking powder.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and a dough forms. If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the dough evenly.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or a fork.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
- Store: Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
