Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend almond flour, monk fruit sweetener, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
Add a softened stick of butter to dry ingredients and use your hands to mix it all together (I recommend using gloves) until well combined.
Add egg and vanilla to mixture and continue to blend by hand. The mixture will be wet. Add chocolate chips and mix well.
Roll 1" dough balls and place them on your baking sheet. Do not flatten the balls as they will bake up soft in the middle if you leave them in the rounded shape. You'll have enough dough to make about 14-16 cookies. You can slightly wet your hands to help you roll the balls without the dough sticking to your hands.
Bake for about 12-13 minutes until top of cookies start to brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before transferring them from the baking sheet to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Store cookies in an airtight bag or container for 3-4 days.
Notes
Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Melted butter will cause your cookies to run together, while softened butter will allow the cookies to maintain their shape when baking.If using a different monk fruit sweetener brand than ZenSweet, make sure the measurements are correct. Some monk fruit sweeteners do not measure cup for cup with regular sugar. You may need to adjust.No sugar chocolate chips brands include Lily's and Lakantos.
