Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups almond flour

2 tablespoons coconut flour

3/4 cup sugar-free sweetener

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

How to Make the Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat Your Oven:

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

Combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Cream the Butter and Sweetener:

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar-free sweetener until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the Eggs and Vanilla:

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the Chocolate Chips:

Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

Scoop and Bake:

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake:

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for The Perfect Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Check for Doneness:

The cookies will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet, so take them out when the edges are golden brown.

Room Temperature Ingredients:

Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature. This helps in better mixing and a smoother dough.

Don’t Overmix:

Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until combined.

Use Parchment Paper:

This prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Don’t overbake:

The cookies will continue to cook a bit as they cool, so take them out when they’re just starting to turn golden.

Chill the dough:

If your dough feels too soft, chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape better.

Measure your ingredients:

Especially the flours. Too much coconut flour can make the cookies dry.

Variations to Try

Nutty Keto Cookies

Mix in some chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts. They add a great crunch and extra flavor.

Coconut Keto Cookies

Fold in a half cup of unsweetened shredded coconut. It gives the cookies a nice chewiness and a bit of a tropical vibe.

Spiced Keto Cookies

Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the dough. Perfect for the fall season.

Different Extracts

Swap out the vanilla for almond or peppermint extract for a new flavor twist.

Double Chocolate

Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dough for double chocolate chip cookies.
