These Low Carb and 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 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 1/4 cup cookie scoop or a measuring cup
- Flatten with your clean fingers
- Bake for 12 minutes
- Enjoy amazing cookies
Everything you need to know to make these 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 1/4 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!

I made these and they came out good except they didn’t hold a nice shape. They spread out a lot. I also added a little trulia brown sugar and a little less of the white sugar substitute and I think that made these sweet like I like them. Great recipe though!
Maria says
Love this recipe. One time I was to lazy to make the cookies and made choc chip blondes in a 9×9 pan baked till golden about 25 mins till golden and dry knife after inserting. Thank you so MUCH.
McKenna says
These were delicious! I have tried so many keto cookies that have failed, and this is the first one that truly worked😊
Charm says
Hello the recipe looks really good! Can i ask if I can chill the cookie dough first before baking? I read somewhere that it helps cookies to be chewier but Im not sure if it can be applied for this keto recipe.
jenniferbanz says
You can try but I don’t think it would apply to a keto recipe with almond flour
Alexandra says
These were delicious!!! Thanks!
Donna says
Cookies turned out really good. Was wondering if carbolose flour could be used in place of almond flour and if so what adjustments should be made?
Lorrie G says
So easy! Fabulous texture! Great taste! But, mine speed out into each other & didn’t keep the nice shape. Any suggestions?
Rebecca says
I used the exact measurements and the dough was crumbly. Then I saw a comment that said it should only be 1 cup of flour and not 3 – ugh. Pretty expensive typo.
jenniferbanz says
There is no typo and that comment was wrong. I and hundreds of others have made these exactly as written.
Sonia says
Hi Jennifer, I made these chocolate chip cookies and they came out crumbly. Whenever I picked one up they fell apart. I had to put them in the fridge so I can grab one. Any suggestions on what to do next time? They were delish anyway.
