Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

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 perfectly every time.

Chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorite cookie.  This keto version gets rave reviews and gives you that gooey chocolate chip cookie experience without all the sugar.

Ingredients needed

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

3 cups almond flour (336g) - for all of my keto baking needs, I always use Blue Diamond almond flour. It gives these low carb chocolate chip cookies the best texture.

⅔ cups granulated sweetener (128g) - my favorite sweetener is Lakanto classic. In my opinion, it has the best taste among keto friendly sweetener.

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¾ cup butter, softened (164g) - If you want a dairy free cookie, you could try using coconut oil.

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

5 ounces sugar free chocolate chips (140g) - I always use Lily's chocolate baking chips in my keto baking. They are the easiest to find and are in most large grocery stores.

How to make these keto chocolate chip cookies

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

Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 350F and line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2 - Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Now add in the softened butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix well with a hand mixer. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a little for the tops, if desired.

Step 3 - Scoop the batter using the cookie scoop to form 21 cookies. Place them on the cookie sheet about 2-3 inches apart. Use clean fingers to flatten out the tops. Top with reserved chocolate chips.

Step 4 - Bake in the oven for 12 minutes. The edges will start to brown and slightly brown on the tops. Underbaking is better than over baking.

Tips for the best low carb chocolate chip 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.
  • Checking for Doneness - These cookies get brown on the bottom and slightly brown on the top.  Mine have always been perfect after 12 minutes.

Storage

  • Store: Keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze: 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.  Keep frozen for up to 3 months.

Tools to make this recipe easier

  • 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.
  • Silicone baking mat - I am a huge fan of these for non-stick, no mess baking.

    This is a perfect recipe! They turn out flawless every single time I make them. I, too, add 1 TBSP of gluten free flour to make them not so fragile and to firm them up. I own a dietetic bakery and these cookies from this recipe are my top seller. Even my picky husband and kids love them which really says a lot! Diabetics alike says this recipe doesn't spike their blood sugar one bit even after eating 2 cookies in one sitting. Thank you for a wonderful cookie recipe! I make these up multiple times a week!

    My first time ever eating OR making keto cookies. I used brown erythritol and monk fruit sweetener and Lily's mini chocolate chips. I made 1/2 a recipe, and used a scoop that made 23 cookies, so maybe 1/2 the size the recipe recommends. I baked one sheet of 12 for 9+ minutes, light golden brown edges. The second sheet of 11 baked 10+ minutes, darker golden edges and more browned on top. We have tried one from the lighter batch. It was soft, fluffy, and yummy! My husband said "these are GOOD!"
    Thank you, Jennifer!

    I mixed Swerve Granular and Monk in the Raw for sweetner as I find my family enjoys that better, also I added a few more tablespoons of Monk Fruit to the batter and 1 tablespoon of Coconut Flour as the batter was very wet. They are the BEST Keto cookie I've tasted store bought or homemade. Will have to hide these cookies to keep them around the house. Great recipe.

    I make these all the time, but I add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour, and it makes them stay dry and a bit firmer when they are in the cookie jar. I also add brandy 1/4 cup and 1 teaspoon of star anise powder for a better flavor. Good recipe.

    PLEASE CLARIFY -- Your "Nutrition Information" says "Carbohydrates: 4g" but my Type 1 diabetic son's blood sugar is skyrocketing after two of them--and we dosed insulin to cover the stated carbs 15 minutes before eating.

    Do you mean NET CARBOHYDRATES? If that's what you mean PLEASE CHANGE the wording in your Nutrition Information to say "NET Carbohydrates" This will help Keto folks, but prevent diabetics from misunderstanding!

    I only use Stevia powder, sometimes liquid stevia. I cannot tolerate erythritol. I used 1/3 cup of Mesquite powder for bulk & stevia power to taste. Came out great!

    I use 3/4 c sweetener, 1 stick butter, 1 tsp star anise powder, 2 Tablspns whiskey, or southern comfort. It perks the flavor up.

    Really tasty cookies! They are easy to make and don’t take much time. I pressed a pecan into the dough of each cookie before I put them in the oven. I must bake my own treats with Xylitol or I get in trouble with sugar.

    These cookies are awesome for Someone watching their weight but wants a sweet treat. My husband even loves them, he won't stop eating them.. even though they're mine!

    The keto chocolate chip cookies were very soft and undone after 12 minutes.
    I let them cool 30 min and still crumbly and falling apart.
    Wondering what happened?
    I am baking them another 5 minutes.

    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 🤗😁😋

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
