Ingredients
- ¼ cup (4 tbsp) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated stevia (or ½ cup for less sweetness)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt

Directions
- Prep:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Wet Ingredients:
- In a bowl, cream butter, stevia, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Dry Ingredients:
- Add almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa mix. Stir gently until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and coconut (dough will be thick).
- Shape & Bake:
- Roll into 1.5-inch balls (or drop with a spoon) and flatten slightly. Note: These won’t spread much!
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are just set (centers will look soft).
- Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Why You’ll Love These:
- No sugar crash: Sweetened naturally with stevia.
- Paleo/Keto: Swap hot cocoa mix for pure cocoa powder if needed.
- Texture: Chewy from coconut, crispy edges, and melty chocolate!
Pro Tip: For extra richness, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate after cooling.
Enjoy guilt-free! 🍪✨
