Since changing my eating habits, cookies have been something that I miss – and I’m talking about those thick, chewy, and soft cookies! I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a bad cookie, but some are definitely better than others!
If you’re like me, you looove a thick cookie with a little crispiness on the outside and a soft inside. They’re just better, I think. Crunchy cookies have their place for sure, but a good, dunkable cookie must have some oomph to it!
If you search for a good keto chocolate chip cookie has gone anything like mine, you have probably run into too many brittle, crumbly cookies. Worse than that though, most other recipes for keto chocolate chip cookies left me with a weird aftertaste.
So, like I’ve always heard, “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!” Thus, this recipe for keto chocolate chip cookies was born!
Tips For Making The Best Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Let me give you a couple of pro tips that will help you create these wonderful, guilt-free, cookies!
- Pro Tip #1 If at all possible, use Lakanto’s Monk Fruit! Monk fruit is by far our favorite sweetener. It tastes just like white sugar and leaves you with no nasty aftertaste or cooling effect. Monk Fruit is the best keto friendly sweetener out there, hands down! In addition to tasting amazing and being completely natural, Monk fruit has a 1:1 ratio to white sugar, which makes it so much easier to bake with! If you’re ever converting a standard recipe to a keto one, there is no complicated conversion process to go through! If you’ve never tried Monk fruit or you just need to restock, get 20% off your entire purchase on Lakanto’s website when you use our code “BUTTERTOGETHERK“. This offer is good on any of the many products available on their site!
- Pro Tip #2 30-40 minutes prior to baking, put the dough in the refrigerator. The dough will get firm which will prevent any spreading or thinning out while it bakes.
- Pro Tip #3 Xanthan gum is a key ingredient! Commonly found in gluten-free baking, Xanthan gum causes the dough to have an authentic cookie dough texture, keeps the cookies moist, and gives the dough a nice structure. Without Xanthan gum, these cookies would be thin and crispy, rather than thick and soft. I will also link this product below!
- Pro Tip #4 This recipe makes three dozen cookies (depending on how you size them, of course). If, by chance, you won’t be in the mood to have cookies with every meal for a week straight, consider freezing the dough. You will do yourself a favor if you freeze the dough into balls.
How To Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- In large bowl, blend together the butter, monk fruit (sweetener), and coconut oil.
2. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Blend.
3. Add in the salt, xanthan gum, and mix.
4. Add in the almond flour 1 cup at a time.
5. Fold in ChocZero Chocolate Chips.
6. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes.

Seems like I remember reading something negative about the Monk Fruit sweetener. Is it different than erythritol or stevia in a way that makes it better?
-
Carolyn
Just made these (followed the suggestion to freeze other 2 dozen in balls, thank you). I didn’t have monk fruit on hand so made with erythritol (3/4 cup), and they are delicious. Next time I see monk fruit in store I’ll try with that. Thank you!

Made these tonight but didn’t have monk fruit so I subbed with swerve and let me tell you!! These are dangerous to have in my house. My husband is picky about his cookies but this was a home run. He said “you’d think you were cheating on your keto”. Even the kids loved them!

I’m nervous to about putting that much monk fruit in the batter. Every time I’ve baked with it and followed the recipe exactly, it’s been over powering (maybe it has something to do with the purity of the brand I bought?). Now I only use a fraction of the amount suggested. If I do that in this case how would I compensate for the loss of volume?

I squished them a bit the second batch and they turned out smoother. The second batch looked more like the picture and they were delicious!

Are the nutrition facts for the 3dozen or individual serving size? It is not stated

Isabella
These turned out awesome although I do have some advice for people planning to try it out
They do not spread out much, if at all, as they cook. Smush them into the shape you want before you put them in the oven
I found that the monk fruit sweetener that I used in the first batch had a slight aftertaste so I added a little coconut sugar to the second and it made it even better. I love the flavor and chewiness it added -

Hi – may I ask what brand of Monk Fruit you use? I was about to order some from Amazon, but got caught up reading the comments about some brands actually being more Erythritol than Monk Fruit.

Oh my so good but and easy! This is a keeper for sure

I just made these cookies today. They are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I think the bitter aftertaste is from the chocolate chips since stevia is the sweetener. You take a bite of the almond piece, it’s not bitter. I was able to make 14 cookies; of course, they are bigger. And, yes, they do not spread during the baking process so be sure to shape them how you like.

Just made these.. I was so hopeful but the first batch turned out a little gritty. 🤔On second batch I reduced the cook time and they came out PERFECT oh my delicious ❤️

These just need some shaved almonds and they would taste like an almond Joy cookie. Very very good! Will make again !

I cant wait to try these. I don’t have the xanthan gum :-(. Is the texture difference bad enough to suggest waiting until I get some?

In a world of horrible, online, keto recipes, this cookie recipe is king. So glad to have found it! Thanks

The recipe only lists net carbs in the nutrition section. I’m diabetic so I need to know actual carbs. Do you have that information?

@Kasey, thank you!

Might be a silly question, are these gluten free?
-
Barbara
Which monkfruit sweetener do you use? Classic (like regular sugar granules) or golden (more like brown sugar)?
-
Barbara
@Kasey, these cookies are REALLY good! No aftertaste from the monkfruit like some of the others. Highly recommend!
