    We all love some 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!

    I first put all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a bowl and mixed them together very well with a mixer.

    Then I folded in the chocolate chips to the keto cookie dough.  I used Lily’s chocolate chips that are sugar free but you could use any chocolate chips you like.

    This is such an easy low carb dessert recipe!

    After it’s all mixed together, just eat this edible cookie dough with a spoon.  But remember this low carb dessert is mostly butter and cream cheese so it is very rich!

      I use Kily’s Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel chips, and they’re incredible! I’ve also added Lily’s dark choc chips into the dough, along with the choc sea salt ones, and that’s fabulous, too!

      This is delicious? Although I would not compare the taste to cookie dough, but rather to cheesecake. Regardless, it is delicious with strawberries! I was looking for something sweet while on keto and this is so yummy that I have already made another batch!! Thank you! Also, for the sweetener I used Lakanto golden. Yummy!

      Absolutely love this recipe. I was never one who craved sweets, until I met my boyfriend. Then we had to have some kind of sweet in the evening. After he passed, I kept that tradition up. Now that I am back to losing weight, this recipe has helped me so much with that sugar craving. Even one spoon full helps.

      Been on keto for a week and i love this recipe, rich and hits the spot when the sweet tooth craving hits, i didn’t have lily’s dark choc chips so i cut up a block of 95% dark chocolate, they came out looking like cookies and cream icecream! tastes like cheesecake truffle. going to add cinnamon next time 🙂 thank you for the great recipe.

      This has become my favorite keto dessert recipe and a great way to bust sugar cravings! I prefer to make this then let it chill in the fridge over night. The consistency becomes much more dough like! Great job!! ❤️❤️

      Not bad, but shouldn’t be called edible cookie dough when it’s nothing like cookie dough. Should be called cheesecake bombs or something

      When I put this in my fitness pal (even without choc. chips), it says there are 7 carbs. What am I missing since this says it’s only 3?

        my fitness pal doesn’t deduct erythritol from the carbs which is the sugar alcohol.

      Made this last night! Omg good. It last like cheese cake cookie batter. I’ll be honest it’s not exactly like cookie dough, but how could it. It doesn’t have the gritty sugar and flour. I consider my self a pick person on low carb diet and this recipe did the trick for me. No funny after taste… just sweet goodness. Taste even better the next day. Definitely making again. Thank you for the recipe!

      Not sure if I would call it a cookie dough when it comes to texture. Doesn’t taste bad just doesn’t have a dough-like consistency.

        Dough=flour which of is not low carb. sometimes we have to make sacrifices in texture for low carb

          I’m sensitive to texture and I won’t eat shirataki or substitute cauliflower for “rice” or “pasta”. If there’s a way to make this taste AND feel like cookie dough, I’m listening. If it doesn’t have the texture, there’s no real point; I’ll keep looking for something that is dough-like, not just sweetened paste.

        • jenniferbanz says

          November 27, 2018 at 8:08 am

          Then I guess this recipe isn’t for you. You will have a tough time finding something with the same texture, as that texture comes from white flour. I miss it, too.

      Made it without the chocolate chips bc I’m weird and always want the sweet soft batter without the hard chocolate chips lol. SUPER SWEET. One could even do one tbsp of stevia and be fine, or take out the vanilla extract. However, I softened my butter and cream cheese (it didn’t begin to melt) and after mixing everything in it turned to an ugly lumpy mush… Still tasted great though(: Thanks for sharing!

        Did you use swerve or stevia? If you use stevia you would need much less.

        • jenniferbanz says

          December 14, 2018 at 4:45 pm

          I am not sure about the stevia. I would add one packet at a time and adjust
