DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Learn how to bake a delicious and healthy double chocolate chip cookie. 

If you love dark chocolate, then this recipe is for you. Dark chocolate is an acquired taste since the taste is very bitter so if you are not a fan of dark chocolate this recipe might not be your favorite.

I am very accustomed to the taste of sugar-free dark chocolate and for me, it tastes even better than chocolate with sugar. But if this is not the case for you, you could always substitute the sugar-free chocolate with the chocolate of your choice. It will still taste like heaven. 

The best part about this recipe is that you do not need an electric mixer nor a blender. You just need a bowl and a spoon. 

It is very easy to make. 

TIPS FOR MAKING DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

• Be careful to not burn the chocolate while melting in the microwave. Melt at 15-30 second intervals and stir in between every interval. 

• I used a cookie dough spoon to scoop out my dough to form the shape of the cookies. The cookie dough will be very sticky so you would need to use a spoon to create the shapes. However, as you can see in the picture they turned out very thick. If you love cookies that thick, they taste great. But you could flatten them out a little bit with the back of the cookie dough spoon to create cookies that are not as thick. 

• After the 15 minutes of baking, the cookies will be very soft. That’s okay!! Take them out and let them completely cool and they will harden up. If you bake them for more than 15 minutes, the cookies will be very very hard once they cool down. 

INGREDIENTS

• 1cup of Sugar Free Chocolate

• 1/4 cup of Monk Fruit Sweetener

• 1/4 cup of Cocoa Unsweetened Powder

• 6 tbsp of Almond Flour

• 5tbsp of Ghee Butter

• 1 tbsp of Sugar Free Syrup

• Pinch of Salt

• 1 egg

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. In a medium-sized bowl pour the ghee butter with 1/2 cup of the chocolate. Melt in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals. Stirring after every 30 seconds.

3. When the chocolate and butter are completely melted add the monk fruit and stir with a spoon. Then add the egg and stir until completely integrated.

4. Add the syrup and pinch of salt. Lastly, add the almond flour and cocoa powder and stir until a cookie dough is formed. Add the rest of the chocolate (1/2 cup) to the batter.

5. The dough will be too sticky to manage with your hands. I recommend using a cookie dough spoon or a normal spoon to scoop out your perfect size cookie and place it on a pan with a cooking sheet.

6. Bake for 15 minutes and no more. The cookies will be very soft when taken out of the oven and may look raw but they are not! You will be tempted to bake them a little bit more but do not! The cookies will harden as they cool. Let the cookies completely cool before trying them.

Makes about 12 medium-sized cookies.
