- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 8 equal-sized biscuits.
