The BEST Chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie

These cookies are better than I imagined to be true. A traditional cookie recipe gets it’s chewy texture from sugar — and if you’ve ever omitted sugar (or part of it) from a recipe, you know that chewy texture is sacrificed in the name of a healthier cookie.

I’ve been on the search for a truly low carb cookie that tastes as delicious as “regular” cookie for a while – and I finally found the one!

These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies have an absolutely addicting texture. Plus, with only 1 net carb, they are the perfect quick grab-and-go breakfast (not every day, but life happens!), snack, or evening dessert.

Ingredients for a Keto Cookie Recipe with Almond Flour

• Almond flour (my favorite low carb flour to work with)
• Butter and coconut oil (healthy fat sources – use grass fed butter for the healthiest cookie)
• Sweetener – these were tested with my favorite erythritol/monk fruit sweetener from Zensweet. Use discount code BLISSFULLYLOWCARB for 20% off your first order!
• Collagen – this is the magic ingredient that adds back in the chewy texture! It adds no flavor and gives these a cookie-dough like texture.
• Sugar free chocolate chips, or use a combo of sugar free chocolate chips and 90% dark chocolate for the best flavor. Using all 90% dark chocolate will add 1 gram of carbs per cookie.
• The usual suspects – baking soda, salt, and vanilla.

How to Make One Bowl Keto Almond Flour Cookies

Step 1: Add softened butter, coconut oil, and sweetener to a mixing bowl, and use a hand mixer to whip the butter and sweetener together until fluffy. This can also be done in a stand mixer.

Step 2: Next, add in egg, vanilla, collagen, salt and baking soda. This allows the ingredients to be fully incorporated into the dry ingredients without needing to mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Use the hand mixer to mix together well.

Step 3: Add in almond flour, and use a spoon to mix into the wet ingredients until no dry flour remains.

Step 4: Mix in chocolate chips, or combination of chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.

Step 5: Scoop cookies on a baking tray, leaving space for the cookies to spread. Do not flatten cookies – this dough is super soft and it will spread like a standard cookie!

Step 6: Bake for 9 minutes. The cookies will look under baked at this point. I highly recommend taking them out at this stage! As they cool, they will firm up and they taste like a combination of a baked cookie and cookie dough. You can continue baking for an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer a cookie that’s a bit crunchy on the outside.

Store cookies in the refrigerator or the freezer for the freshest tasting cookies! \

Make your Perfect Low Carb Cookie

I am not a “simple” cookie person. My cookie personality is probably best described as “everything but the kitchen sink.”

If you’re like me, try these keto-friendly additions!

• Pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts
• Coconut flakes (unsweetened, or course!)
• Cinnamon or ginger powder (turmeric is good also, in small quantities!)
• Pork rinds. JUST KIDDING! Do not eat pork rinds at any point, in any recipe. But crumbled bacon is something people add to cookies, if you like the sweet/salty combo!
• Freeze dried raspberries

Total Time: 19 minutes

Servings: 16 Cookies

Calories: 137kcal

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter softened
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener*
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 20 grams collagen unflavored
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips** or sub chopped 90% dark chocolate

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Add the butter, coconut oil, and sweetener to a bowl, and whip together with a hand mixer. Alternately, use a stand mixer to combine.
• Next, add in egg, vanilla, collagen, baking soda, and salt. Use the mixer to beat together well.
• Add the almond flour, and then use a spoon to combine with the wet ingredients. Stir until all the almond flour is mixed in.
• Add sugar free chocolate chips, chopped dark chocolate, or a combination of both, depending on your preference. Mix in.
• Use a tablespoon to scoop heaping tablespoons of batter, and roll into balls. Place on the cookie sheet with at least 2 inches separating each cookie dough ball.
• Bake cookies for 9 minutes. They will look underbaked at this point, but when they cool will have a chewy, cookie-dough type texture (which is perfect in my opinion!). Baking the cookies longer gives the cookies a crunchier texture on the outside.
• Allow to fully cool. They will be very soft when still warm but will firm up after cool/ Store in the refrigerator or freezer for best results, wrapped in airtight plastic or in a reusable container.

Notes

*USE DISCOUNT CODE BLISSFULLYLOWCARB to receive 20% off your first order!

**Cookies using all sugar free chocolate chips have 1 net carb per cookie. Adding 85% or 90% dark chocolate will raise the total net carbs to 2-3 per cookie.

Collagen is an important ingredient in these cookies. Without the collagen, they will be crumbly and will not have a chewy texture. I do not use gums in my cooking, so have not tried Xantham Gum.

**UPDATE:** These have been tested with agar agar. This is a substitution that does work and is a healthier option than using gums. It’s much stronger than collagen, so you use less. Use 1/4 teaspoon in place of the collagen.
