This post is sponsored by ChocZero. All opinions are my own and I only share products I personally love. Thanks for supporting the brands that make this site possible! This is my best keto chocolate cookies recipe – it has double the chocolate! I’ve been looking for ways to use my favorite ChocZero Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips every chance I get lately, and these cookies were a great use for ’em. These cookies are not only studded with chocolate chips, they’re inside the cookie dough, too… which makes for an ultra rich, ultra moist and chewy double chocolate cookie dough. If you love keto chocolate chip cookies but want an extra dose of chocolate, then these keto double chocolate chip cookies are for you. You’re welcome. 😉
How To Make Keto Chocolate Cookies
Easy keto chocolate cookies take just 15 minutes to prep, let me show you how to make them:
Melt chocolate. In a double boiler over low heat, melt 1 package of ChocZero Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to lukewarm.
Beat butter and sweetener. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the butter and monk fruit allulose blend, until fluffy.
Add wet ingredients. Beat in egg, vanilla, and salt.
Add melted chocolate. Beat in the melted chocolate.
TIP: Be sure the chocolate is lukewarm, not hot, when you add it. Otherwise, you might cook the batter.
Add dry ingredients. Beat in almond flour, 1/2 cup at a time. If you’re using xanthan gum, sprinkle it in, then beat again.
TIP: Xanthan gum is recommended for extra chewy chocolate cookies. But if you don’t want to use it, it’s okay to skip.
Chill. Chill the dough in the fridge, until it’s not too sticky to work with. Scoop. Scoop the keto chocolate cookie dough onto parchment lined baking sheets, then flatten into cookies.
Bake. Bake until the tops are no longer sticky, but still very soft. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
What kind of almond flour is okay to use?
It’s important to use super fine blanched almond flour for this keto chocolate cookies recipe. Do not use almond meal or a coarse almond flour – both of these would result in a more grainy result.
Can I use coconut flour?
No, sorry. You’d need to make multiple other changes for the recipe to work. If you’re looking for something with coconut flour, try one of my other coconut flour recipes. If you can’t have almond flour but still want chocolate cookies, you can make my flourless double chocolate cookies instead, which use the same sugar-free chocolate chips – just sub the almond butter for sunflower seed butter to make them nut-free.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I highly recommend monk fruit allulose blend for the moistest and best chocolate keto cookies. If you don’t have it, my keto sweeteners guide has a conversion calculator included – use that to find out how much to use of whatever you have. Just know that the moisture and texture will be different if you use something else, and they may be less chewy.
Can you make keto chocolate fudge cookies dairy-free?
Yes, swap out the butter for your favorite vegan butter alternative. (Check the labels on these to see if you’re okay with what they use instead.) You could use coconut oil, but these cookies taste best with butter flavor! While I haven’t tried it in this keto chocolate cookies recipe, I’ve have had success with butter-flavored coconut oil for other recipes.
What kind of chocolate chips should I use?
This recipe features ChocZero Dark Chocolate Chips – and you’ll definitely need to use those for the cookie dough. However, you can change up the chocolate chips that are folded in for a different variety – they also have milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.
Keto Chocolate Cookies Storage Instructions
Can you make these ahead?
Yes, you can definitely make these cookies ahead.
How to store low carb chocolate cookies
Store the keto chocolate cookies recipe in the pantry for 3-4 days, or freeze them to make them last longer.
Can you freeze them?
Yes, you can freeze these chewy chocolate keto cookies in a freezer bag for 2-3 months – if they last that long!
