Keto chocolate chip cookies are a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet tooth while following a low-carb ketogenic diet. Here's a simple recipe to make delicious keto-friendly chocolate chip cookies:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and keto-friendly sweetener. Beat them together until creamy and well mixed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cookie dough forms.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips. You can also chop up a sugar-free chocolate bar into small chunks if you prefer larger chocolate pieces.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork or your fingers, as almond flour cookies don't spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as almond flour cookies can become dry if cooked too long.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, enjoy your keto chocolate chip cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite low-carb beverage.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste by using more or less sweetener. You can also add chopped nuts or other keto-friendly mix-ins for variety. These cookies are a great way to satisfy your cookie cravings while staying within your ketogenic diet goals.
