Step 1

Put the butter in a plastic bowl on the counter and let it soften for a while before you start the cookies.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 300F/150C. Put parchment paper sheets (affiliate link) on to a large baking sheet.

Step 3

Use a stand mixer (affiliate link) or a hand mixer (affiliate link) to combine the softened butter, Monkfruit Sweetener or sweeteners of your choice, salt, and vanilla.

Step 4

Then add the cocoa powder  and almond flour and continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Scoop out the dough with a metal tablespoon measuring spoon and roll with your hands to make 20 balls.

Step 6

Use a fork to mash down the balls and make the cookies the same size.

Step 7

Bake cookies for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookies feel lightly firm to the touch when you press with a finger. They will be somewhat soft until they cool.

Step 8

Cool a few minutes on the baking sheet, then slide the parchment paper off onto a cooling rack and let them cool longer, about 30 minutes total cooling time.
