Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar replacement
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and becomes a deep amber, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Remove and let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, brown sugar replacement, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the browned butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then stir in the pecans and chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press down to about ½ inch thick.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until puffed and the edges are golden. Remove and let cool completely on the pan. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

Certainly if it works for you, go for it — if you have a glucometer you will know. And everybody knows how hard it is to stop eating chocolate chip cookies.
Well, aren’t you the Spartan. These cookies are less than 3 net carbs for 2 cookies. Since I have been incorporating recipes such as this one into my diet, I have been able to drastically reduce my blood sugar and medication. It’s not that hard to stop eating something if you are allowed some and not none of it.
