Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy free)
  • 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol/stevia blend)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature (or flax egg for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup unsweetened dried cranberries or cherries
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • For glaze: 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • Optional: natural food coloring, sugar free sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and monk fruit sweetener for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, beating on low speed until a soft dough forms. If dough is sticky, add 1 tablespoon more almond flour.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans (plus any optional mix-ins).
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten gently with your palm.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers just set.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely (about 15-20 minutes).
  10. For glaze, whisk powdered erythritol with almond milk. Drizzle or pipe over cooled cookies and decorate as desired.

Notes

Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Taste dough before baking to adjust sweetness. Cookies freeze well and flavors deepen overnight. For nut allergies, substitute sunflower seed flour or oat flour.
