What really is a serving size?

Because I genuinely don’t trust packages anymore. 

Did you know that the calories on nutrition labels can be off by 20% in either direction? Oh, and guess what direction is most common…

H I G H E R.

Yet another reason why counting calories doesn’t necessarily mean easy weight loss and counting micronutrients (super cool things also known as vitamins) is increasingly more appealing. I mean, can you imagine that? Logging your daily intake and saying, “ah man, I’m low on Vitamin C. Pass the blueberries”? Because that is a world I could happily live in. #someday

Keto Cookie For Two:
Give Or Take

This chocolate chip cookie may not be the EXACT serving for two or one or however many. That’s not important. What is important is that it’s not an entire batch of cookies, which is definitely not one serving, that much I know.

When you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, it’s just enough of chocolatey, crumbly, buttery goodness to satiate your intense chocolate chip cookie cravings (keto or nah) without having the temptation of dozen cookies staring you in the face.

Oven or Microwave?

Please don’t microwave this cookie. It is not a microwave-kinda-cookie, just a small-batch cookie. Sort of like a keto chocolate chip skillet cookie, only in a non-stick pan.

The basic recipe is just like my shortbread recipe, only scaled down. Without an egg as a binder, you need the slow heat of an oven to make it all come together. Mkay? Mkay!

Let’s get baked. 

Chocolate Chip Cookie for ✌ {Low Carb & Keto}

A cookie so nice, it serves ya twice. 

Pin It! 📌

Bakeware 101: 6 in round pan or ramekin?

Either will work, but a ramekin is a bit smaller than the pan shown above.
Be aware of your pan size because it affects the thiccc-ness of your cookie.

Could you make this as a keto chocolate chip skillet cookie? 
Maybe, but it may stick. I also feel it would definitely need an egg white to make it a little bit softer. 

I beg of you, don’t skip the salt sprinkle.
It brings out flavors I didn’t know existed in a cookie.

Salt your cookie 🙏
Whipped cream topping is optional, I guess.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Almond Flour
• 1 tbsp Coconut Flour
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 2 tbsp Sweetener (like swerve or other erythritol blends)
• 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 3 tbsp Butter**
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 4 Pecans, chopped
• 1/4 cup Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 and coat a small baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients until combined.
3. Cut in the butter and vanilla, working the mix until a dough forms. The warmth from your hands helps so dig in!
4. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips, press into pan and bake for 10 minutes or until golden.
5. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt and let cool before removing or just eat it straight from the pan.

Notes

**Butter cannot be replaced 1:1 with coconut oil in this recipe. If you want to sub coconut oil, you must reduce the almond flour to 1/4 cup and increase the coconut flour to 2 tbsp coconut flour!
