Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
Everyone needs to have a collection of really good dessert recipes for when those sweet cravings hit, am I right? This recipe the perfect Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies is so delicious you will even impress your non-keto friends!
These Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy on the inside with crispy edges just like their high-carb cousins. Unlike the originals, these cookies are made with almond flour, Swerve sweetener and stevia sweetened chocolate chips to keep them healthier and easier on the waistline.
How to make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies with Almond Flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until combined.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and creamy.
Next, add the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt and mix just until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough and drop the rounded balls onto the prepared baking sheet at least 2-inches apart.
Alternate Method: scoop out 2 Tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
Bake for 10 minutes until the edges start to brown but the centers are still doughy. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes.
Move cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Cookies will be puffy when they first come out of the oven but will deflate as they cool.
- For crispier cookies bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
- Cooking times will vary by oven so keep an eye on them.
- Because the cookies are so soft when they come out of the oven, they will break apart if you try to move them too soon. I let mine rest for 10 minutes, until the next batch came out of the oven and they were perfect.

- This recipe makes 22 cookies. Serving size one cookie to make the math easy.
- So the math is not so easy. The calculator came up with 81 carbs in the sugar-free chocolate chips – this is incorrect. I am guessing they are about 2 carbs per cookie based on Swerve being 0 net carb per serving and almond flour being just under 1 net carb.
