Easy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

The special ingredient is ground flax seed. I've tried several keto cookie recipes that were good but I couldn't find one that had the same texture of a regular chocolate chip cookie until I found this recipe for Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies.

It was perfect and I only needed to adjust a few things to make it low carb and sugar free.

The extra fiber helps too, and adds less than 1 net carb per cookie. I don't know about you but I can always use extra fiber especially if I'm only adding 1g of net carbs.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond flour plays the biggest role in this almond flour chocolate chip cookie recipe and helps keep these chocolate chip cookies low carb.

I haven't tested this recipe with coconut flour. For a great coconut flour version check out the Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies from Low Carb Yum.

Almond flour is higher in carbs than some other grain-free flour alternatives but it's also higher in fat and protien making it a better option that most.

The carbs in this healthy chocolate chip cookie come from the almond flour.

Working with almond flour can be tricky if you're not used to it. Remember when measuring almond flour to spoon your flour into your measuring cup, then level it.

Do not dip your measuring cup into the flour then level, it will be too much almond flour.

Also, if you store almond flour in the freezer you'll want to bring it to room temperature before you use it.

Almond flour looses moisture in the freezer but absorbs moisture from the air when it defrosts. If you add it to your recipe too soon, it's suck the wet ingredients right up.

How to make Low Carb Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can make these keto chocolate chip cookies in just a few simple steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl with an electric beater, beat together the coconut oil (or butter if you do dairy) and sweetener until smooth.
2. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Add in the almond flour, flax seed meal, salt, and baking soda and beat until combined.
4. Fold in the chopped dark keto-approved chocolate (or sugar free chocolate chips). Place in the refrigerator while you preheat your oven.
5. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough into balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet two inches apart.
6. Bake for 12 minutes or until the center is set and the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and slide the parchment paper off the baking sheet onto a cool surface.

What Chocolate is Low Carb?

While the net carbs on these cookies may look incorrect, they are correct. Net carbs are calculated by removing the fiber grams and grams of sugar alcohols.

Fiber and sugar alcohols don't raise your insulin, or blood glucose levels so you can subtract them from the total carb amount, giving you the net carbs.

See the bottom of the recipe card for the estimated net carbs. Please note that the carbs may vary depending on the exact brand and ingredients you use.
