Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the room temperature egg in a large glass bowl until the yolk and white are fully combined.
Slowly add the powdered sweetener and cocoa powder to the egg mixture.
Whisk continuously until a thick, dark, uniform dough forms.
Fold in the sea salt to balance the flavor profile.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake for 12 minutes until the edges appear set.
Cool the cookies on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish setting.
Notes
Measure the cocoa powder by leveling it off to ensure accuracy. For best results, ensure the egg is at room temperature to facilitate better incorporation. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
