Chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you prefer soft buttery low-carb cookies, these chewy keto chocolate chip cookies are sure to satisfy. They taste just like the real thing but these treats are gluten-free with just 1g net carb each.

I finally found a keto cookies recipe that is almost as good as the original high carb Toll House recipe. This one even passed the picky 13 year old daughter test.

It also got past my daughter's friend who had a few and said they were good cookies. I plan to make a big batch of this dough later and freeze it to bake on my busier days.

I liked these low carb chocolate chip cookies so much, I will bake some for the holidays. These keto cookies are also soft and chewy, just like the popular high sugar ones.

Ingredients Needed For Chew Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are also true cookies, nothing like cake in texture. The combination of butter and Brown Swerve gives these low-carb chocolate chip cookies a soft texture. The addition of stevia glycerite rounds out the sweetness.

They have a nice buttery flavor and the nut flours are not overpowering because of the added vanilla whey protein. The addition of peanut flour or coconut flour also lightens up the texture.

Please note: You'll find the full list of ingredients used in the recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom.

Quick Tips

• Line the baking pan. For easy release and cleanup, be sure to line the baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Skip the egg white and double the yolks. In these buttery cookies, the yolks provide a moist cake-like cookie that makes them chewy.
• Add more flour. If you find that the cookies flatten too much during baking, just add more almond flour to the cookie dough.

How To Make Keto Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

The full step-by-by step instructions are listed in the recipe card below. In this section, I'll share some additional tips along with photos to help you make the recipe.

Cream The Butter

The original Toll House recipe was created by adding some chopped chocolate to a Butter Drop Do cookie recipe. So butter is an essential ingredient.

First, you'll beat the softened butter with the keto sweeteners then blend in the egg.

Add The Dry Ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein, peanut flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add this dry mix into the butter mixture.

The cookie dough should be fairly stiff. If the dough feels too soft, add in a little more almond flour. Just mix in a tablespoon at a time.

Stir In The Chips

To finish off the dough, stir in some keto-friendly chocolate chips. I like to use ChocZero because they taste great and melt well in the cookies. You can also save 10% on them when you use my discount code LOWCARBYUM!

You can also add in some chopped nuts with the chips. Walnuts or pecans work well in the cookies.

Bake The Cookies

Drop scoops of dough about two inches apart onto a lined baking sheet. Each scoop should be about a tablespoon.

A cookie scoop is the easiest way to get nice uniform scoops. But you can also use a couple spoons to drop spoonfuls of dough.

Bake the dough until the cookies brown. This takes about 8 to 12 minutes. Let the baked cookies cool for at least ten minutes before removing to a cooling rack. If you move them while they are too warm, they can break apart.

Recipe Suggestions

The dough can be frozen to use later. I recommend forming the dough into mounds with the scoop on a cookie tray and placing the tray in the freezer. Once the mounds are frozen, put them in an air tight container or freezer bag.

You'll want to make a large batch of these low carb chocolate chip cookies as the dough freezes well and can be frozen in scoops. This helps with portion control as you can bake only a few at a time. You can even just bake up a few in the toaster oven.

If you have a peanut allergy or just choose to avoid it, you can substitute the peanut flour with coconut flour, more whey protein, or more almond flour. The recipe is quite flexible. I used a mix of flours and whey protein because I find it gives the best results.
