Expert Tips (Before You Start)
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading and ensure thicker cookies.
- Use finely ground almond flour—coarser flour can make the cookies grainy.
- Let the melted butter cool before mixing to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- Always bake on a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve Brown, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Make the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
- Portion the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with your palm.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may look slightly soft—that’s okay!
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
