Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) or olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added flavor
Instructions:
1. **Preheat the oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Mix dry ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. **Add wet ingredients:** Add the melted coconut oil (or olive oil), unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more almond milk until it reaches a good consistency.
4. **Add optional ingredients:** If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
5. **Form cookies:** Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, then gently press each ball down with your fingers or a fork to flatten slightly.
6. **Bake:** Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. **Cool:** Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. **Serve:** Enjoy your healthy, diet-friendly cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
