Chocolate Chewy Brownie Cookies / Keto / Low Carb / Gluten & Grain Free

So today I was really craving something pastry-like. I wasn't quite sure what I was in the mood for, but I wanted it to be simple... I couldn't find anything I was crazy about on Pinterest so threw this together. I feel like it would have been way better if I had an actual hand mixer, but alas, good ole elbow grease had to suffice. 

Please note that granulated sweetener would make this way too gritty. I didn't have a powdered sweetener, so I just threw some of my granulated Erythritol into a coffee grinder (cleaned beforehand unless you want a coffee bean hint to your cookies) on fine and voila! 

Also, I know that peanuts are not strict keto, but I have had great success adding in a little of my peanut flour here and there. 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 C Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/4 C Peanut Flour
• 1/2 C Powdered Sweetener of Choice ( I used Erythritol )
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 tsp Salt (more or less, I eye balled this)
• 4 Tbsp Butter
• 1 C Almond Flour

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350F 
• Mix together your sweetener, cocoa powder and peanut flour
• Mix in melted butter with dry mix
• Combine with baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs and salt
• Combine almond flour until you get a thick batter
• Take about a tbsp and put onto parchment paper on your cookie sheet. This should make about 10 cookies
• Flatten and shape to your desire. These will not rise or fluff out. Make as thin or as thick as you would like. 
• For thin cookies, bake for about 8-10 mins
• For thicker cookies, bake for about 12-15 mins
• My personal choice & how I made these pictured, I baked for 11, turned the oven off and then let sit in the oven for 2 more mins
