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.

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.
