Low Carb Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The dough is formed by mixing almond flour, egg, heavy cream, softened butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract, then stirring in dark or sugar-free chocolate chips. After resting briefly to hydrate the flour, the dough is shaped into balls or spooned onto parchment-lined baking sheets, pressed to about half a centimeter thickness.
Baking at 350°F (180°C) for about 13 minutes results in cookies with soft centers and golden edges that firm up as they cool. Thicker cookies baked less time yield chewier results, while thinner shapes make crispier cookies. The recipe also works without an egg for a crisper, more fragile cookie when hot.
Approximately seven grams net carbs per cookie, making them appropriate for low-carb or keto lifestyles. They are best served as a sweet snack or dessert paired with beverages or enjoyed solo.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour 100g (to my UK readers - ground almonds work well here, just add another 2 tbsp)
- 1 egg not large, medium
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream aka double cream
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted, VERY soft
- 3 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate 50g (85% cocoa solids minimum or sugar free), or sugar free chocolate chips, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit.
- Combine all ingredients apart from the chocolate with a fork. Let the dough sit for a few minutes so the flour can absorb the moisture.
- Chop your chocolate and stir into the dough.
- Form dough balls with your hand or spoon the mixture on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Press down into the desired shape (cira ½ cm thick).
- Bake for circa 13 minutes or until the edges are golden. The cookies are soft when straight out of the oven but firm up as they cool down.
Notes
- The recipe makes about 10 cookies, each roughly 6 cm in diameter, with approximately 7 grams net carbs each.
- Use either sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped 85-90% dark chocolate for the chocolate component.
- For chewier cookies, make dough balls thicker than ½ cm and reduce baking time to around 10 minutes.
- To achieve crispier cookies, flatten the dough thinner and bake for the full 13 minutes.
- The recipe can be made without egg; omit egg and add an extra splash of cream for a crisper but more fragile texture when hot.
