Keto Cookie Dough Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by melting unsalted butter and mixing it with stevia glycerite, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to build the base mixture. Finely ground almond flour is incorporated to give structure and a delicate nutty flavor. The dough is lightly kneaded to achieve smoothness and then chilled briefly to firm up.
Portioned into 12 balls, each is topped with dark chocolate chips pressed into the surface. The chilled dough is ready to eat after resting about 15 minutes at room temperature, though it can also be eaten right away if desired. The oily texture and high fat content from the butter and almond flour create a satisfying mouthfeel without baking.
These cookie dough balls are portable and convenient for a keto-friendly snack. Proper storage in an airtight container in the refrigerator will keep them fresh for several days. They can also be frozen for longer storage and thawed overnight in the refrigerator before eating.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite equals ⅓ cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- Pinch salt
- 1 ½ cups almond flour 6 ounces, superfine
- 60 dark chocolate chips 1 ounce
Instructions
- Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave in 30-second sessions. Using a fork, mix in the stevia, vanilla, and kosher salt.
- Add the almond flour. Mix it in with a fork and then lightly knead the dough with your hands until smooth.
- Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to help it set and make it easier to work with.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal parts, each weighing about 20 grams. You can use a heaping measuring tablespoon for each of them. Using your hands, shape each part into a smooth ball. The dough will be oily and sticky, but not impossible to work with.
- Insert 5 chocolate chips into the surface of each ball.
- Allow the dough balls to set for about 15 minutes at room temperature before enjoying them. But if you can’t help yourself and dig right in, that’s fine, too!
Notes
- Freezing the dough before shaping can make it easier to handle but is not compulsory.
- Use granulated or powdered sweeteners suitable for baking; avoid liquid sweeteners except for stevia glycerite.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze up to three months.
- When freezing, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before consuming.
