Step 1

Preheat a fan forced oven to 180C (360F).

Step 2

Melt the butter in saucepan until melted and hot over medium heat. Place the melted butter and erythritol in a mixing bowl and beat until combined. Add the vanilla and egg, and beat on low for another 15 seconds.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

Press the dough together and remove from the bowl. Knead in the chocolate chips with your hands or a silicone spatula.

Step 5

Use a small ice cream scoop to divide and shape the dough into 12 portions and place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 180C (360F). The cookies will look a little undercooked when removing from the oven, but after cooling they will harden.

Step 6

**baking tip** If cookies have not flattened after 6-7 minutes in the oven, press down with the back of a fork.

Step 7

Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Keep in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
