Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons butter, softened

1 pasture-raised egg

2 Tablespoons stevia, powdered

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

7 Tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips

1 Tablespoon butter

6 tablespoon almond flour

1 tablespoon raw cacao powder

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon pink salt

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/4 Cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

Step #1:  In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together 2 tbsp. butter, egg, sweetener, and vanilla until well combined.

Step #2:  In a separate bowl, heat up 6 tbsps. of chocolate-chips and the 1 tbsp. of butter until melted.

Step #3:  Beat the melted chocolate into your egg/butter mixture until smooth.

Step #4:  Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients just until combined and then fold in the pecans and the final tbsp. of chocolate-chips.

Step #5:  Place your batter in the freezer for 7-8min and preheat your oven to 350*F.

Step #6:  Spray or grease a large baking sheet with oil. Drop the batter by heaping tbsp.’s onto the cookie sheet.  Lightly flatten each with the back of an oiled spoon.

Step #7:  Bake for 8-10min. (These should still be a bit soft when they come out! Do not over-bake). Let the cookies sit on the tray to cool for 10-15 min before moving onto a wire rack.

Step #8:  Enjoy immediately or store in an air-tight container on the counter or in the freezer for a quick snack later on!
