    Edible keto cookie dough

    We all love chocolate chip cookie dough straight out of the bowl when we are making cookies. Who cares about raw eggs!  Am I the only one that eats enough cookie dough while i'm making cookies that is equivalent to about 5 cookies?  I had to make a sugar free and low carb version of Keto Cookie Dough for my cookie loving self...it's one of my favorite Low Carb Desserts!

    This simple recipe only requires 5 simple ingredients that you probably have on hand. You can have keto cookie dough at your fingers tips anytime you want a sweet treat!

    Ingredients

    This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this keto cookie dough recipe, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For a printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

    6 ounces Cream Cheese, Softened - You can use full fat or reduced fat cream cheese for this recipe. The cream cheese provides the bulk of the keto cookie dough. I know a lot of recipes would use almond flour or coconut flour because that's what is used in keto chocolate chip cookies, but I prefer this as it is a smooth texture instead of a grainy texture from the almond flour.

    5 Tablespoons Butter, Softened - I like to use salted butter. You could also use softened coconut oil or ghee!

    2 Tablespoons Granular Sweetener - A monk fruit and erythritol blend works well. You can also use allulose.

    ½ teaspoons Vanilla extract

    ½ Cup Sugar free Chocolate Chips - When we think of cookie dough, it is usually chocolate chip cookies. I like to use Lily's semi-sweet chocolate chips for this keto chocolate chip cookie dough. You could also use dark chocolate chips.

    How to make keto cookie dough

    This section explains how to make this keto edible cookie dough recipe, step by step. For a full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

    Step 1: Mix together the cream cheese, butter, sweetener and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl with a mixer.

    Step 2: Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

    Step 3: Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated. You can also portions this recipe into cookie dough balls or fat bombs to make them bite sized so they are easy to grab and go.

    Pro tip:

    • Portion the cookie dough using a cookie scoop or a spoon and place each portion on a lined baking sheet. Flash freeze the keto cookie dough bites for 1 hour, then remove from the baking sheet and place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw each piece for a few minutes and eat!

      Good taste but mine turned out more like a frosting than cookie dough!
