These keto chocolate chip cookies are so easy to make with only 1 bowl and 2 net carbs per cookie! These are truly no fuss…you can literally dump everything in the mixing bowl and they will turn out perfect every time.
These Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies are so easy to make and they are kid approved! Make them anytime you get that chocolate chip cookie craving…without the guilt!
Have I ever mentioned that I am a self proclaimed cookie monster? I think I may have mentioned it in my post on low carb butter cookie energy bites.
Anyway, I love the cookies, but they do not love my hips and thighs, if you know what I mean. I was on a mission, a keto cookie creation mission. Because I cannot live without chocolate chip cookies any more!
My requirements for the best keto chocolate chip cookies were they had to be easy to make using commonly found ingredients, and they had to taste amazing.
According to all of my readers, I have succeeded!
How to make the best low carb chocolate chip cookies
- Mix your ingredients (dry first, then wet) The batter will be thick
- Scoop using a cookie scoop or a spoon into 21 even sized cookies
- Flatten with your clean fingers
- Bake for 12 minutes
- Enjoy amazing cookies
Everything you need to know to make these keto cookies:
- No fuss dump recipe: Unlike other keto chocolate chip cookies recipes out there, this one is super simple and they turn out perfect every time! Follow my easy instructions and you are good to go.
- Almond Flour Free Version: So many people cannot tolerate almonds. For an almond flour free version, simply use the same amount of sunflower seed flour. It is comparable in price to almond flour.
- No Lily’s Chocolate Chips?: If you are having trouble finding the sugar free and keto friendly Lily’s chocolate chips, you can use an 85% dark chocolate bar and cut it into chunks. You may need 2.
- Cookie Scoop – Ensures perfectly even keto chocolate chip cookies. I always end up with 21 if I use my cookie scoop. I linked to the one I use in the recipe card down below. You can also use a ¼ cup measuring cup.
- Checking for Doneness – These keto cookies get brown on the bottom and slightly brown on the top. Mine have always been perfect after 12 minutes.
- Freezing – I have kept these frozen for months and they still taste great. I freeze them all on the sheet tray for 2 hours, then I put them all in a freezer safe container or bag. I pull one out when I am ready to eat a cookie and they are so good straight out of the freezer.
A note on the carb count
The FDA requires manufacturers to add sugar alcohols on the nutrition label as carbohydrates.
Please note, you must subtract these sugar alcohol in the sweetener and the lily’s chocolate chips and subtract the fiber to get an accurate net carb count.
You get keto chocolate chip cookies, and you get chocolate chip cookies, and they were keto and we all lived happily ever after!

- No Lily's Chocolate Chips?: If you are having trouble finding the sugar free chocolate chips, you can use an 85% dark chocolate bar and cut it into chunks. You may need 2.
- Mixing - This recipe has evolved into a dump recipe because they turn out perfectly even with just dumping all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mixing.
- Cookie Scoop - Ensures perfectly even keto chocolate chip cookies. I always end up with 21 if I use my cookie scoop. I linked to the one I use in the recipe above.
- Checking for Doneness - These keto cookies get brown on the bottom and slightly brown on the top. Mine have always been perfect after 12 minutes.

- Nutrition - Please note, you must subtract the erythritol in the sweetener and the lily's chocolate chips and subtract the fiber to get an accurate carb count. I have done this in my nutrition information.

laura melgoza says
I made these babies last night, and used a 1 tbs cookie scooper. I’m not sure the size that you used on this recipe, but assuming it was 2tbs scooper, because I ended up with 33 delicious beauties 🍪😋! Baked for 12 min for total perfection! Never had I had chocolate chip cookies this delicious, ever!!!! My daughter just texted me on her way to work while trying them for the first time, and all she said was “wow mom- these cookies 😳😋”!!!!
I’ll DEFINITELY be making them again soon, AND am looking forward to exploring your other recipes! I have a major sweet tooth, and am always looking for yummy keto baked goods to whip up. You have definitely become my new best friend, Jennifer 🤗😁😋

Matty says
Just made these for my fiends bday who is hard core Keto. He LOVES them!
JoAnne says
Theses cookies are amazing. I was skeptical at first since I’m new to keto recipes, and was worried with lack of flavor. These did not disappoint. You still get a great chocolate chip taste with all the healthier ingredients. In my opinion, they taste better than regular chocolate chip cookies that are filled with sugar. Kudos to a fantastic recipe!!! Also, husband approved!
Sandy says
Love, love, love this recipe! Perfect just the way you said. Husband approved, too. Thank you, Jennifer!
Demy says
This recipe was easy to follow, and the finished product was amazing! I couldn’t wait for them to cool down because they were just too good….
B says
These are the BEST almond flour chocolate chip cookies! I’m not doing keto, just trying to cut down on sugar esp for choc chip lovin’ hubby. I even cut the monkfruit sweetener down to 1/3 c and they are plenty sweet enough. I do use regular chocolate chips in them. Thank you! Hubs says they are perfect.
RJ says
Best cookie recipe ever !!!! Even better than the “ traditional” cookie recipe!!
I’ve made them several times now and it’s always a hit with family and friends !
Thank you!!
RJ
Jenniffer LaCroix says
I just made these, and theyre awesome. So far, I’ve only tried the batter, but still good. If I taste it first, I get an idea of how the cookies will taste when baked. Yours taste like regular chocolate chip cookie batter, can’t hardly taste almond flour. I also used 85% cocoa chocolate for the chocolate chip. Thank you. I think i will make yours for now on.
Adria says
I’ve been keto for years and these are the best cookies I’ve made yet! This is actually the first time I’ve reviewed a recipe bc they are THAT good! My hubby says thank you too!!
Lisa says
These are so good! The only thing I changed was that I used 2 ounces of Kawaii Treats and Eats Chocolate Buttons and 2 1/2 ounces of Lily’s Salted Caramel chips and they are amazing. The cookies are on the soft side so definitely leave them on the pan until they’re cool. I ended up with 31 cookies using a cookie scoop.
Kas says

Phyllis LaCrosse says
How long is the shelf life for the chocolate chip cookies? I baked them ahead to take on vacation. We love them!!!
Phyllis LaCrosse says
Hiw long is the shelf life for the chocolate chip cookies?
jenniferbanz says
I would keep them in the refrigerator for a week
Brandi says
These are my absolute favorite keto cookies! I’ve been making them for weeks ever since I discovered the recipe. I’m currently doing vegan keto and use dairy free butter and it doesn’t change the taste one bit. I use baking powder in addition to the baking soda because I like a fluffier cookie and they turn out nice and plump and tall each time. This is a fail-proof recipe that I will continue to use. Thanks for your work in creating this!
