# List of Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
04 - 1/2 tsp baking powder
05 - 1/4 tsp salt

06 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

09 - 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, lightly crushed
10 - 1/3 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips

→ For Dipping

11 - 3 oz sugar-free dark chocolate, melted
12 - 1 tsp coconut oil, optional for smoother melting

# Step-by-step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a large bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
05 - Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
06 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
07 - Flatten each cookie slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon to achieve uniform thickness.
08 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
09 - Once cookies are cool, melt the remaining dark chocolate with coconut oil if using in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
10 - Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then place back on the parchment to set. Chill briefly to harden chocolate if desired.
