Keto Almond Joy Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit sweetener)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped almonds
12 whole almonds (for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
Add Chocolate Chips and Almonds: Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped almonds until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Form the Cookies: Scoop out small portions of the dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them with your fingers.
Add the Topping: Press a whole almond into the center of each cookie.
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious, keto-friendly Almond Joy cookies as a snack or dessert!
Tips:
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
You can use dark chocolate or extra nuts to add more flavor and texture.
