Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups walnuts preferably organic (see Note 1)
  • ½ cup cashews preferably organic (see Note 1)
  • cup low carb sugar substitute or erythritol (see Note 2)
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia see Note 2
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon cream of tartar ¼ teaspoon baking soda for paleo
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 oz Chocorite dark chocolate bars or chocolate of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Process walnuts and cashews in food processor until oils released and nut butter is formed. Place nut butter in a large bowl and combine with sweeteners. Add the baking powder, salt, egg, vanilla extract.
  • Cut the chocolate into small chunks. Stir chopped chocolate into the dough.
  • Using spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto silicon mat lined baking cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie with fingers to desired thickness (very flat can be baked crisper).
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until cookies are browned to desired crispness. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.

Notes

8 ounces of prepared walnut butter can be substituted for nuts.
Any sweetener equivalent to about ½ cup of sugar can be used in place of both sweeteners listed.
Use a cookie scoop to keep the cookies the same size, so they bake evenly.
Add a sheet of parchment paper onto the cookie sheet to prevent the cookies from sticking.
If it is important to keep the cookies dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate.
