Ingredients
1 cup smooth unsalted almond butter
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 large room temperature egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large glass bowl, combine the almond butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, and egg.
Stir the ingredients together with a sturdy silicone spatula until a thick, uniform dough forms.
Roll the dough into 12 equally sized balls using damp hands to prevent sticking.
Place the balls on the prepared tray and flatten them slightly with a palm or fork.
Bake for exactly 8 minutes to maintain the soft, fudge-like center.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use room temperature eggs for a smooth emulsion. Sift the cocoa powder to avoid clumps. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 15 minutes before forming to improve handling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain the best texture.
