Ingredients

¼ cup coconut oil or butter, softened *not melted
⅓ cup coconut sugar or 0-calorie sweetener like erythritol
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
1 cup blanched superfine almond flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup dark chocolate** dairy-free, good quality, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup cherries fresh or frozen, halved, plus a few whole cherries for garnish

Instructions

Heat oven to 350° F. Grease two 5-inch mini cast iron skillet with coconut oil or butter.
Beat the butter (or coconut oil) and erythritol (or coconut sugar) until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
Whisk the almond flour, baking soda and salt and add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chunks.
Divide the cookie dough between the skillets and press right to the edges until smooth on top. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until nicely browned and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
Remove from oven. Cool in pan for 10-15 minutes, then serve plain, or with ice cream, whipped cream or whipped coconut milk and a few extra cherries.

Notes

I used a dark chocolate sweetened with stevia to keep this sugar-free.
