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.

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