What are Keto Cookies:
Keto Cookies are made with almond flour or coconut flour. They are low in carbs but taste amazing. We love making cookies at our house but I am trying to do low carb, so this cookie curves my sweet tooth. We also use a keto friendly sugar to fit within our low carb diet.
If you are looking for a low carb dessert, this is the one I always make.
Ingredients you need:
You are going to be pleasantly surprised just how simple the ingredient list is. We always keep things simple and this recipe does not disappoint.
If you are already following keto and making keto recipes, you likely already have many of these ingredients on hand.
- Finely Ground Almond Flour
- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
- Keto Friendly Powdered Sugar Substitute
- Salt
- Baking Soda – Baking Powder works also.
- Coconut Oil
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Milk of choice, as needed
How to make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Preheat Oven – First preheat your oven to 325 F.
- Mix Ingredients – Next, Stir dry ingredients very well then add wet ingredients to form a dough.
- Make Cookie Balls – Use a cookie scoop to shape dough into cookies.
- Put dough on cookie sheet – Place on a cookie tray, and bake on the center rack 10-12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool before removing from cookie sheet – Let cool an additional 10 minutes before handling or to room temperature. They are very delicate at first but firm up once cool. This is super important as you do not want them to crumble!
- Serve and Enjoy – We have a designated cookie jar that we put our cookies in. We like to sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
What Chocolate Chips are Keto Approved?
Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips are the kind we get. They are keto friendly, are low carb, gluten free and made up of premium dark chocolate that is 55% cocoa. They are sweetened with zero calorie Stevia.
Making these the best choice when making Keto Approved Chocolate Chip Cookies. We like these Lily’s Chocolate Chip so much, that I use them when I make regular chocolate chip cookies.
Tips for The Best Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Use Cookie Scoop – If you are still scooping cookies with two spoons, you really need to get yourself some stainless steel scoops. I have had mine for several years and I use them for all types of baking.
- Cooking Rack – It is also a good idea to use a cooling rack. Place the cookies on racks to cool completely. We also line baking sheets with parchment paper. This makes cleaning large baking sheets easier as well.
- Baking Mats – Another tip is to use baking mats. Amazon has them on sale right now. These keep your cookies from burning on the bottom and they help them cook evenly. Plus it saves you money by not having to use parchment paper all the time.
- One Bowl Mixing – No need to have one bowl for dry ingredients and one for wet. This recipe is so easy that all the ingredients go into one bowl.
- Check for Doneness – I always check my cookies around the 11 minute mark to check for doneness. Sometimes the bottom gets brown first. But letting them rest on the cookie sheet after removing from oven will help finish the cooking process.
Can I freeze Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies?
These Keto cookies freeze great. Place them on a baking sheet separately and place in the freezer. After about 2 hours, remove them from the freezer and place them in a freezer safe container.
This way you can grab just one or two cookies whenever you need something sweet. They are even great right out of the freezer.
How many carbs in Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies?
These Keto Cookies With Almond Flour are low carb and delicious. You can also try making keto chocolate chip cookies monk fruit if you prefer. Based on the size of cooking you make, these cookies come out to about 2 net carbs per cookie.
Substitution Ideas:
- Flour Variations – If you can’t use almond flour, try coconut flour or sunflower seed flour. You would use the same amount as if you were using almond flour.
- Chocolate Chips – If you are unable to find Lily’s low carb Chocolate Chips, try chopping up a 85% chocolate bar. It takes a little extra time, but it is still a better alternative than regular chocolate chips.
- Sweetener Substitutions – I used Monk Fruit Sweetener sweetener for this recipe but any brand will work. You can also use Swerve Erythritol or if you’re not following a low sugar diet, you can use real sugar as well. I used the granulated sweetener but powdered erythritol would work too.
Keto Friendly Add-Ins:
- Chopped Nuts – Walnuts or Pecans are a good option.
- Sugar Free Candies – Add in some sugar free M&M’s or peanut butter cups
- Coconut – Unsweetened Coconut Flakes is a great option.
- Pistachios – I was amazed how good these were added in. Pistachios have a lot of health benefits.
How to store:
Place cookies in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. They will stay good in the fridge for about a week.
Understanding the Keto Diet:
First of all, I know it can seem overwhelming initially. However, once you understand the Keto lifestyle it is very simple. There is a great book for beginners here that you might want to pick up.
It is a really great resource to help get you started on this Keto journey. It’s a lot to take in but basically the ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat with healthy fats for weight loss.
The diet calls for a lot of nut butters, peanut butter and low or no net carb snacks called fat bombs. You will also want to keep things sugar free. Oils like coconut oil, olive oil and mct oil are used.
