Recipe Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 cup Granulated Erythritol
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 Large Eggs
• 2 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/3 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup Powdered Erythritol (for rolling)

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.

Step 3

Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, fudgy dough forms with no dry streaks remaining.

Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes so it firms up and is easier to roll.

Step 4

Place the powdered erythritol on a small plate. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough, roll each one into a ball, then roll generously in the powdered erythritol until fully coated.

Step 5

Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press each one down slightly with your palm so they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are crackled and the edges feel set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them, as they firm up beautifully as they cool.

Tips

Chill the Dough Long Enough

The 15 minutes of chilling in the fridge is not optional. Almond flour dough is naturally softer and oilier than regular flour dough, so if you skip this step the dough will stick to your hands and be really hard to roll into balls.

If your kitchen is warm, go for 20-25 minutes instead. You want the dough to feel firm enough that you can roll it without it smearing all over your palms.

If it still feels too sticky after chilling, wet your hands slightly before rolling each ball. That helps a lot.

Don’t Underbake Them

These cookies will look soft and slightly underdone when you pull them out, and that’s exactly what you want. But there’s a difference between slightly soft and actually raw in the center.

The way to tell they’re ready is by looking at the cracks on top. You should see clear, visible crinkle lines across the surface with the dark chocolate color peeking through the white coating. If the surface still looks smooth and puffy with no cracks, give them another minute or two.

They firm up a lot as they cool, so don’t wait for them to feel hard on the baking sheet. That means they’re already overbaked.

Use Powdered Erythritol Generously

When you roll the dough balls in the powdered erythritol, really coat them thickly. A thin dusting won’t give you that classic crinkle cookie look where you see white cracks against the dark chocolate.

Press the dough ball into the powdered erythritol and turn it a few times so every surface has a solid white layer. The more coating you have, the better the contrast looks after baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour in these cookies?

Coconut flour is not a simple swap here because it absorbs way more moisture than almond flour. If you use the same amount, you will end up with a very dry, crumbly dough that is impossible to roll into balls.

If coconut flour is all you have, try using about 1/3 cup instead of the 2 cups of almond flour, and you may need to add an extra egg or a splash of heavy cream to get the dough to the right fudgy consistency. Just keep in mind the texture and flavor will be a bit different from the original recipe.
