Butter: I used unsalted butter. Melted coconut oil would be a good substitute if you cannot eat dairy.

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: I used dark chocolate in the cookie dough and mint white chocolate chips stirred into the cookie itself.

Sugar-FreePeppermint chocolate chips

Large egg

Mint Extract: This is added to the cookie dough to boost the mint flavor.

Almond Flour: Use a finely ground almond flour. I highly recommend this one.

Powdered Sweetener: I went with this powdered sweetener because I feel it has the best texture in the cookie.

Cocoa Powder: I used regular cocoa powder, however, dark or dutch cocoa can be used also.

🔪 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a microwave safe medium bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30 second intervals. Stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Whisk in the melted butter and chocolate mixture until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sweetener, almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir until no dry parts remain. Stir in the mint chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon sized cookie scoop, measure dough portions onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Flatten the cookie lightly a silicone spatula lightly coated with cooking spray.
Bake the cookies for 7 minutes, or until cookies are just browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an air tight container.

🥄 Equipment

Mixing Bowl

Baking Sheet: Use a baking sheet that will fit a dozen cookies on it comfortably.

Parchment Paper: I always use parchment paper when baking cakes and cookies. It helps prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.

Cookie Scoop

Chocolate cookie dough on the baking sheet.

🥫Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week and in the freezer up to 3 months.

📖 Variations

Substitute 3 tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter for the 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips that are melted with the butter.
Substitute vanilla extract for the peppermint extract.
Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts to the cookie dough.
Use vanilla extract and milk chocolate chips and add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the almond flour mixture.
Stir in 1 teaspoon espresso powder with the dry ingredients.
Substitute ⅓ cup of crushed sugar free hard peppermint candies for the mint chocolate chips.

💭 Tips

Instead of transferring cookies from the baking sheet to a cooling rack, allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. Trying to move the cookies while hot may cause them to fall apart due to the nature of their ingredients.
This recipe can easily be adapted for a regular diet also by using powdered sugar and regular chocolate chips. Making this a grain-free recipe still, but not necessarily sugar-free. Whichever way you prefer, or need to make the recipe, it will work either way.
