Here is how you can bake your Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Step 1: The first and primary process will involve pre heating and preparation process.

This is how you should start, first, to prepare, preheat your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius. Preheat the cookies on a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid the cookies from sticking and making the dirt on the bottom of the pan easy to wipe.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

First, in a big bowl mix the two large eggs adding a little water and beat the mixture well. This can be done using a fork or wire turner or wire whisk or even using a spoon. The state frothy helps in the incorporation of air that is vital in making the cookie fluffy. Finally, stir into the mixture one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and ⅓ cup of granulated erythritol. Beat these ingredients until firm and they merge as one. Last of all, include the man chosen fat (¼ cup of softened unsalted butter, ghee or coconut oil) for the mixture to become smooth.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In the same large mixing bowl, now sift in ⅓ cup plus 3 teaspoons of coconut flour, 1 tablespoon of unflavored grass-fed beef gelatin, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of fine Himalayan salt. Take two spoons of the dry mixture and mix lightly into the wet mixture to form a dough with a help of the rubber spatula. This dough should be mixed well so that there shall be even distribution of the ingredients but there should not be vigorous mixing to have a tough cookie.

Step 4: Put the Chocolate

Take a 4 ounce of stevia-sweetened baking chocolate and chop it into fine shavings and you might also use ½ cup of stevia-sweetened semisweet chocolate chips. Distribute the chocolate in the dough and fold them to make the chocolate even all around the dough.

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

MakingSmooth round balls of the size of one inch scoop the mixture using a medium-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon. On this, place the dough balls and ensure that they are about 2 inches apart from each other. This spacing helps in a way that the cookies spread slightly on the baking tray without fusing with each other.

Step 6: Flatten and Bake

With the palm of the hand, lightly press each ball of the dough and make it about ½ inch thick. Place the cookies in the heated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn a little brown. The cookies should be thick , the center slightly raw, as they will further bake as they cool.

Step 7: Cool and Store

Take the cookies off the baking tray and allow them to cool for some time but preferably on the baking tray itself. This is a significant stage since it plays a major role in enabling the cookies get the chewy texture. Two, after baking cool them to room temperature then transfer them to an airtight container also placed at room temperature. They can keep for up to five days, however, because of how delectable it is it will probably not be around for long.

Measuring Flour: However, it is worth to mention that coconut flour is very dry and highly absorbent. Docking it, using scoop and level it to avoid over measuring it, so that the cookies end up dry.

Chilling the Dough: If the dough becomes soft or stick to the hand, then can put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. It also makes it easier to shape the cookies and also allows them to maintain their shape when baking.
