Ingredients & Variations

DOUGH: Use your favorite sugar substitute (Swerve was used here), whole, unsalted butter, and coconut oil. Swerve has a brown sugar version that can be mixed half into the white sugar substitute. This gives the cookies a little more caramel flavor.

PRO TIP: For a Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie, switch out the coconut oil for melted bacon grease and top each cookie with crumbled bacon bits!. It’s a sweet and salty designer treat.

Coconut flour can be used at a 1:1 ratio but a little more liquid might be required to keep the cookies chewy.

MIX INS: Low-carb chocolate chips exist. Find Lily’s brand and choose semi-sweet chocolate chips or chop bits from their dark chocolate bar. Peanut butter chips can be used sparingly, recommend cutting them into smaller pieces so less goes a lot farther. Nuts are keto, too. Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or peanuts. Flaked, unsweetened coconut is yummy, too.

Recipe Tips

Avoid over mixing the dough so the cookies have enough air in them to rise properly. Always let the cookies cool a bit before transferring to the wire rack so they can firm up. For extra crunchy nuts and coconut, roast them in a dry sauté pan until they are fragrant. Cooking out the excess oil makes the nuts and coconut extra crunchy and enhances their flavor.

Storing Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Keep cookies in a sealed container with a slice of bread to absorb extra moisture.

Time Saving Tips

Prepare and freeze the dough in single cookie portions. Keep them in a zippered bag on the outside for up to 4 weeks. No need to thaw! Simply add a few extra minutes to the bake time!
