Giant Chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Giant Chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with almond flour and sugar-free sweeteners, resulting in soft, chewy cookies that satisfy a sweet tooth while fitting ketogenic diets. Butter and egg create a rich texture, while sugar-free chocolate chips add indulgent chocolate bites. The dough may be chilled before baking to improve texture. Their large size makes them a substantial treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, softened, unsalted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar sugar-free
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups almond flour fine
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the butter and sugar to a stand mixer and beat until combined and fluffy (note: you can also use a mixing bowl and an electric hand whisk).
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl again and add the remaining dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Beat on high speed until everything is incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Beat in the chocolate chips.
- Use the rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl again to ensure all of the ingredients are mixed together very well. If the dough seems soft and greasy, refrigerate the dough for 1 hour before baking. If the dough doesn't seem greasy and presses together easily, you can bake the cookies right away.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Measure out ⅓ cup of the dough and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat for remaining cookie dough (there should be 7 balls of dough total). Note that the dough will spread during the baking process so be sure to leave ample room between balls of dough.
- Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies reach your preferred level of done-ness. Chewy cookies will need 10 to 11 minutes on the dot and crispier cookies will require 13 to 15.
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before digging in! If you go after them right away, they will fall apart easily, so for best results, wait for at least 15 minutes before diving in.
Notes
- Regular sugar-free granulated sugar can be used as an alternative sweetener.
- If not following keto, replace sugar-free brown sugar with regular brown cane sugar.
