What Makes these Cookies Keto? Are they Low Carb?
Traditional chocolate chip cookies are made with flour and sugar, but these cookies are not. Instead I used finely ground blanched almond flour and Natvia sweetener (or any sweetener you preferred), indeed makes it low carb and keto friendly. I also used Keto chocolate chips (sugar-free) for this recipe. You can also use coconut flour in making Keto cookies. For a coconut flour version, make these Best Keto Coconut Flour Cookies.
If you can’t find almond flour in your local grocery store, you can always make your own by putting raw almonds to a food processor. Pulse it until they reach into a flour-like consistency. Watch out for the texture, you don’t want to pulse it for too or you’ll end up with almond butter instead, which is also delicious, but that’s not what you need for this recipe.
Can Sugar Free Cookies Taste Good?
I know what you’re thinking. I can see the look in your face. Back in the olden days, alternative sweeteners have this artificial aspartame taste that stays long inside your mouth. I’m sure you won’t like it, nobody will. Thankfully, sweeteners these days don’t have that distinct after taste anymore. There are also numerous options from which you can choose to use for this recipe.
For this recipe and for most of my recipes here, I use Natvia sweeteners because that’s what works with me. But if you are serving these chocolate chip cookies to non-Keto crowd, you can replace regular sugar.
Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I USE OTHER SUGAR FOR THIS RECIPE?
Absolutely. I personally like the Natvia Sweetener in my recipes. But you are free to use any other sweeteners or if you are not on a Keto diet or would like to serve these cookies with Non-Keto crowd, you can replace the sweetener into regular sugar.
ASIDE FROM ALMOND FLOUR, WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
Keto dieters often use almond flour for their recipes, as it is low in carbs, as well as coconut flour.
WHAT CHOCOLATE CHIPS SHOULD I USE?
I use chocolate chips that are sugar-free and low in carbs, particularly the Healtheries’ Sugar-free Chocolate Baking Bits.
How to Make the Best Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Before anything else, you have to preheat the oven to 325 degrees F or 160 degrees C. Then in a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (ground almond flour, sugar-free chocolate chips, powdered sweeteners, salt and baking soda. Give it a good mix so you don’t end up biting into a clump of big clump of almond flour and baking soda. Now add the wet ingredients; coconut oil, vanilla extract and milk of choice. Shape it into a ball – then shape into cookie balls. I used a cookie scoop to form balls and then into cookies. Place each cookie on a cookie tray and bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. Put the cookies on a cool rack and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. When cookies are still hot, they are very delicate and may break, but once they are completely cool, they will firm up.
