Chocolate Keto Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• 1 tbsp konjac powder (i.e. glucomannan) arrowroot powder, or more coconut flour

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

• 2/3 cup grass-fed unsalted butter at room temperature

• 7 tbsp golden erythritol to taste

• 1 tsp blackstrap molasses (optional)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 egg

• 2/3 cup Lily's Sweets dark chocolate bar broken up (or chips)

• 1 cup coarsley chopped pecans

• flakey sea salt to garnish

Instructions:

1. Add almond flour, coconut flour, konjac powder (or arrowroot/more coconut flour), salt, baking soda and xanthan gum to a medium bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined and set aside.

2. Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add in sweetener and molasses (optional), and continue to cream until light and fluffy (about 8 minutes).

3. Add in vanilla extract and egg, mixing until just incorporated. The mixture will appear slightly 'broken' (i.e. not thoroughly smooth).

4. With your mixer on low, add in half of your flour mixture- mixing until just incorporated. Mix in the rest.

5. Fold in chocolate and pecan bits. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

6. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

7. Divide cookie dough into 18 rounds for 3 1/2-inch cookies (or 12 for jumbo style), and flatten them slightly. The cookies will spread somewhat during baking, but you still need to pre-shape.
