These low carb and keto-friendly chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy. They are just 4 ingredients and don't require any flour or low carb flour alternatives.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add cashew butter, allulose and egg. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and no egg streaks remain.
Stir in half of the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop up cookie dough and place dough ball onto prepared cookie sheets, spaced about 1.5 inches apart.
Add a few of the remaining chocolate chips on the surface of each cookie ball. Press down on each dough ball with the palm of your hand so that it becomes a thick round disk. Smooth the edges if desired. The cookies do not spread out much during baking (they will only rise slightly), so you do want to shape the cookies to what you want the final outcome to be.
Bake cookies about 10-12 minutes or until tops and edges just start to turn a golden brown. You do need to be careful and not overbake the cookies. Alllulose will cause the cookies to brown very fast if they are baked too long. Remove cookies from oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Uneaten cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature and longer in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
This cookie dough works best with allulose. Other sugar substitutes will change the texture of the cookies and I found that erythritol based sweeteners tend to make the cookies hard the next day. If you use allulose, the cookies will stay soft. I use Micro Ingredients Allulose.*
