Aunt Rocky’s Low Carb Almond Joy Cookies

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners, set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine almond flour, sweetener, coconut, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Add crema and egg, and whisk again until smooth. Dough will be a little loose, but should not be runny. (If necessary, add a tablespoon of coconut flour, or a little more almond flour to thicken it.) Fold in chocolate chips and almonds.

Scoop by rounded 1-tablespoon (rounded 1-inch cookie scoop) onto cookie sheets. I get 20 cookies on each sheet. Use damp fingers to pat cookies down a little bit to flatten.

Bake cookies for 22–25 minutes, or until edges are browning and top is light golden. Gently transfer to cooling rack.

Cookies will dry out more the longer you leave them on the cooling rack. For a chewy cookie, store when completely cooled, then store in air tight container in the pantry for a few days. For a crisper cookie, leave on cooling rack for about 24 hours and store in an open container in the pantry for up to a week.

Yields 40 cookies, or 20 servings of 2 cookies each.
