I have been baking chocolate chip cookies since I was six years old and over the years have spent a lot of time feeling guilty every time I ate one. With these chocolate chip cookies there is just pleasure, no guilt. These taste great, have a wonderful texture and bring back memories from the 1950’s kitchen at my house.
THE ULTIMATE KETO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Almost too good to share: These keto chocolate chip cookies are the perfect combination of soft chewiness with a crunchy edge. You’ll never guess they are sugar free! Perfect for gluten free and low carb diets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour 100g to my UK readers – ground almonds work well here, just add another 2 tbsp
- 1 medium egg not large
- 2 tablespoon double/heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted VERY soft
- 3 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- â…“ cup chopped dark chocolate 50g 85% cocoa solids minimum or sugar free, or sugar free chocolate chips
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
1.7g net carbs per cookie. Makes 10 cookies with a diameter of around 6 cm.
I have made the recipe with both sugar free chocolate chips and with chopped 90% dark chocolate.
If you like chewier cookies, make them thicker than ½ cm and reduce the baking time to 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, flatten them further.
This low carb chocolate chip cookies recipe also works WITHOUT the egg! The end result is crispier (but also more fragile when hot). Add an extra splash of cream to loosen the dough.
