PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Chocolate Chip Keto Cookie Melty Centre Delights:
- Preheat Oven: Set to 180 ° Celsius. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release and clean-up.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons almond flour, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan and ¼ teaspoon baking powder until evenly distributed.
- Stir In Herbs: Add a pinch of thyme (or rosemary), mixing so the herb coats the flour mixture and releases its aroma.
- Add Yoghurt: Spoon in ½ tablespoon Greek yoghurt. Use a fork to blend the mixture, creating coarse crumbs with some larger flakes of Parmesan.
- Form The Dough: With fingertips, gently press the crumbs together to form a soft dough ball. Avoid overworking to keep the scone tender.
- Shape Scone: Place the dough on the lined sheet and pat into a 5-centimetre round about 2 centimetre thick. Smooth the top for even baking.
- Score The Top: Lightly score an X on the top with a sharp knife to help the scone rise evenly and for a classic finish.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the top turns light golden and the edges feel firm to the touch.
- Cool Briefly: Remove from the oven and let rest on the sheet for five minutes. This allows the centre to set and prevents the scone from crumbling.
- Serve: Enjoy warm as it is or split and fill with butter, cream cheese or smoked salmon for an elevated treat.

TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Chocolate Chip Keto Cookie Melty Centre Delights:
- Keep Ingredients Cold: Chill yoghurt before use to help the scone rise and develop a light crumb.
- Measure Precisely: Level almond flour and baking powder for consistent texture and rise.
- Gentle Handling: Press the dough lightly, so overworking does not lead to a dense scone.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme or rosemary imparts a brighter flavour than dried.
- Even Thickness: Pat the dough to a uniform thickness to ensure even baking throughout.
- Rotate Tray: Turn the baking sheet halfway through for uniform colour and texture.
- Score Deeply: A clear X helps the scone split evenly and achieve the signature shape.
VARIATIONS
- Cheese Swap: Replace Parmesan with grated cheddar or Gruyère for a different savoury profile.
- Herb Blend: Mix in chopped chives or parsley alongside thyme for extra freshness.
- Seeded Twist: Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top before baking for texture and visual appeal.
- Garlic Infusion: Add ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder to the dry mix for subtle savoury warmth.
- Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of chilli flakes for a gentle heat contrast.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator: Store cooled scones in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat in a 160 °Celsius oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
- Freezer: Freeze individual scones on a tray until firm, then transfer to freezer bags for up to one month. Thaw at room temperature and warm briefly in the oven before serving.
