KETO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS. Made low-carb with sugar-free sweetener and almond flour. For those following a low-carb or keto diet, and/or folks who need to watch their sugar intake, these tasty cookie bars (or keto blondies) are ideal.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and with parchment paper, line an 8” x 8” baking pan.
Until it gets fluffy, beat the butter in a stand mixer. Until creamy until fluffy, add the sweetener and vanilla extract and beat. With a rubber spatula, scrape the sides of the mixer. Add egg and until it gets well combined, beat.
Add the cinnamon, baking soda, sea salt and almond flour and beat until it gets well-combined. Until evenly distributed throughout the dough, beat in the chocolate chips.
To the parchment-lined baking pan, transfer dough and press into an even layer. On top, add more chocolate chips!
For 20 to 25 minutes, until edges are golden brown and the bars seem firm, bake on the center rack of the preheated oven. For TWENTY minutes, I let mine go, then turn off the oven and for another FIVE minutes, let them sit in the oven. Bake for EIGHTEEN to TWENTY minutes, for gooier, under-baked bars, and for firmer bars, bake for TWENTY FIVE to THIRTY minutes.
From the oven, remove bars and allow them to cool before slicing and serving, for at least FORTY minutes.
