Ingredients
- 1 Stick of Butter 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 3/4 cup Allulose Sweetener
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Low Carb Chocolate Chips
- 15 Keto Marshmallows
- Optional: Crushed Sugar Free Peppermint Chocolate Drizzle, Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and place parchment
- In a small pot, melt the butter on low heat. Whisk in the allulose and the cocoa powder and mix until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool until just slightly warm. Whisk in the egg and vanilla and mix until shiny and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until combined then pour the cocoa mixture into the bowl.
- Fold it all together with a rubber spatula until mixed. Then fold in the low carb chocolate chips if desired. Let the dough chill for about 15 minutes to make it easier to roll.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to roll out the dough into 15 balls. Place on a baking sheet a few inches apart and use your thumb to indent.
- Bake each tray of cookies for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and indent again (use the bottom of a teaspoon to help this time) and place a marshmallow piece into each indent. Bake for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool completely before toasting the tops with a torch (if desired). Serve as is or add a chocolate drizzle with some crushed peppermint candy or sprinkles over the top.

Notes
Tips for Soft and Fudgy Cookies
- Do not overbake. Cookies will continue to set as they cool
- Add toppings right after baking so they melt naturally
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough
- Chill the dough briefly if the cookies spread too much
