Who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie? I'm not really a fan of sweets, but cookies are my ultimate weakness. Usually finding myself on a low carb diet, I had to find a way to get my hands on some cookies minus all the guilt. I found a couple of recipes, but they didn't suffice. I took the matter into my own hands and came up with this awesome recipe that I hope you all will love. Enjoy!

Low Carb Hazelnut
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 1/4 cup Almond flour
-
1/4 cup Coconut flour
-
1/2 cup salted butter (sub vegan butter)
-
3/4 cup Monkfruit sweetener (or erythritol)
-
1 large egg (sub vegan egg replacement)
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
3/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips (I like Lily's dark chocolate chips)
-
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
-
optional course sea salt
Note: The coconut flour gives the cookies a slightly fluffy and chewy texture. If you are more of a crispier cookie person, omit coconut flour and use 1 1/2 cups almond flour.
Directions:r
-
Pre heat oven to 360 F
-
Toast hazelnuts in a small frying pan without oil on medium for 4-6 min or until fragrant and toasted. Set aside
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, add the butter to a mixing bowl with the Monkfruit sweetener and beat until combined
-
Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until all combined
-
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well combined and dough forms.
-
knead in the dough and chocolate chips with your hands or a silicon spatula.
-
Form dough into balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pat down with spatula (not too hard) forming a slight cookie shape. This recipes divides into 12 portions evenly.
-
Bake for 11-13 minutes at 360 F.
-
Take out cookies when they are golden brown. They might look undercooked, but they harden when they cool. That's the trick to their perfect consistency.
-
Let cool for 15 minutes before eating. Top with optional course sea salt. (highly recommended)
