Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar-free sweetener, such as monk fruit or allulose
- 1 tablespoon milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a small microwave-safe mug or bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar-free sweetener, and granulated sugar-free sweetener until smooth.
- Add the flavorings: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make the dough: Add 2 tablespoons of almond flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms, adding the remaining tablespoon of almond flour if needed to achieve the right consistency.
- Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Microwave: Cook on high for 45–60 seconds, checking at 45 seconds. The edges should look set while the center remains slightly soft.
- Rest and enjoy: Let the cookie rest for 1–2 minutes before eating. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Enjoy warm straight from the mug.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking: Start checking at 45 seconds to prevent a dry or rubbery texture. Microwave power varies, so adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Choose your sweetener carefully: A brown sugar-style sugar-free sweetener combined with a granulated sweetener provides a more traditional chocolate chip cookie flavor.
- Adjust the dough: Start with 2 tablespoons of almond flour and add more only if necessary. Almond flour brands vary in texture and absorbency.
- Coconut flour substitution: Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid than almond flour, so it is not a direct one-to-one substitute. Start with a small amount and adjust the liquid carefully.
- Make it dairy-free: Use a plant-based butter alternative, unsweetened almond milk, and dairy-free sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Serve with toppings: Add sugar-free whipped cream or a small scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream for an extra-special dessert.
- Best enjoyed fresh: This single-serving cookie is at its best straight after cooking. Allow it to rest for 1–2 minutes before eating.
- Sweetener tip: Allulose often produces a softer texture, while erythritol-based sweeteners may create a slightly grainier result.
