If you are seeking the best keto chocolate chip cookie recipe. I recommend this tried and true recipe to you. These incredibly easy keto chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour in just a few simple steps, which I will show you.
Keto Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Seriously, of all the low-carb and sugar-free cookie recipes I've made over the years, these cookies are my favorite ones. These almond flour chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and so delicious. They are also gluten-free.
This is a super easy recipe to make at home; all you need to do is mix the wet ingredients and dry ingredients in 2 separate bowls, combine both, scoop the batter into balls, and then bake. SO SIMPLE.
After I tried this recipe at least 3 times, and they came out perfect every time, I suggest using good-quality chocolate chips; this is important. I used Lily's dark chocolate chips, which are sweetened by stevia.
Also, Please don't use coconut flour instead of almond flour because they are totally different, and if you do so, you will end up with a failed result.
Also, if you are wondering why I added the egg, I added this one egg to prevent the cookies from crumbling after baking.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Almond flour: This recipe calls for almond flour; it is also my favourite gluten-free flour substitute in baking. I used Bob's red mill almond flour.
- Egg: This recipe calls for just one egg at room temperature.
- Dark chocolate chips: I prefer to use unsweetened or the ones that are sweetened with stevia.
- Powdered Erythritol sweetener: I also like monk fruit sweetener.
- Coconut milk: I used unsweetened coconut milk, you may use unsweetened almond milk instead.
- Butter: I prefer to use unsalted softened butter. You can use coconut oil instead.
- Orange extract: I like to give the cookies a hint of orange flavor because, in my opinion, it pairs so well with chocolate. You can replace it with orange zest if you want.
- Baking soda: Helps in making the cookies soft.

Five: After that, Add the chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Six: refrigerate the cookie batter for about 30 minutes.
