Instructions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

Mix all cookie ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Leave to rest for 5 minutes. Prepare 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
Use a tablespoon-sized cookie dough scoop to measure out dough. Scoop out cookie dough, roll into a ball and place onto baking tray. Slightly flatten with the back of a fork (only a little). Chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes
Preheat a fan forced oven to 170℃ (350F)
Bake 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden (the cookies will still be soft). Cool on a wire cooling rack. Cookies will continue to firm up when cooling.

THERMOMIX METHOD

Add cookie ingredients into mixer; mix 20 sec/speed 4. Leave to rest for 5 minutes. Follow from Step 2 above.

Notes

INGREDIENTS AND SWAPS

1. Any white granular erythritol-based sweeteners can be used in the cookies. Look for ones with a ratio of 1:1 with sugar. I do not recommend reducing the quantity of sweetener, liquid sweeteners or gold sweeteners for this recipe.

2. I always use Bobs Red Mill Aluminium Free Double Acting Baking Powder.

3. I use blanched almond meal. Almond flour, or hazelnut meal can also be used.

4. I use Locako Gelatin. Any brand can be used, however, pasture-raised gelatin is always best. The gelatin is used to give the biscuit a “chew” and consistency. It is not recommended leaving this ingredient out.

5. You can use a range of sugar free choc chips or make your own with our Keto Chocolate Recipe.

VARIATIONS

Use sugar or regular chocolate chips. Use any kind of chocolate and cut it into chunks.
