Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup 250g almond flour
  • 4 tablespoon powdered sweetener I use Sukrin
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp 60g unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese cold
  • 1 large egg cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
  • Then, add the cold butter and pulse several times until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the cream cheese and pulse until incorporated.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and pulse one last time until the dough has formed. Remove the dough into a mixing bowl and add the chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate has been distributed evenly throughout the dough.
  • Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form a disk with it. Cut it into 8 even wedges, like you would cut a pizza, and spread the wedges apart from each other so they have some space to expand while baking.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool down on the baking tray for 10 minutes. Then, place onto a cooling rack and let it cool down completely before serving.
