Snacking is often the death of a diet plan, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Finding recipes for snacks that fit into your diet plan can help make snacking easier and healthier while you diet. The keto chocolate chip cookies recipe is the perfect example of that idea.

This keto chocolate chip cookies recipe is simple to make and guaranteed to satisfy that craving for something sweet without wrecking your diet.

Many different things need to be avoided when you’re trying to lose weight. Whether you’re on keto or simply trying to eat healthily, sugar is one ingredient that is usually avoided.

Even though we know we need to avoid sugar while dieting, it doesn’t stop the cravings for something sweet. The keto diet is no different. While a keto diet allows us to eat some things that are not allowed with other diets, sugar is not one of them.

But there are ways to work around that issue, like with this keto chocolate chip cookies recipe. This recipe is one that fits within the diet plan of a keto or low carb diet.

The best part is that the cookies still taste amazing, just like you would want from a cookie when you’re craving something sweet. This recipe fits into the keto diet plan and makes it easier to enjoy a favorite snack while losing weight as well. 

Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Some things that we all expect to be in a cookie recipe are still in this recipe. However, one of the more significant changes is that this recipe uses almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.

This alone will help lower the carb count in these cookies. But also, to give these cookies their sweetness, we’ll be using Swerve sugar substitute.

There are a few other things that aren’t as common in cookie recipes (like Xanthan gum and Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips), but everything else is normal. 

You will be able to choose the ingredients you want that make them even healthier as well. For example, you can choose healthier chocolate chips or a healthier type of flour.

That is the beauty of making recipes like this at home. You have full control over what goes in and what doesn’t. 

How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the Swerve sugar substitute. Beat on high until smooth and creamy.

Mix in the egg and 1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.

Add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix on high until completely combined.

Fold in the baking chips with a spatula until well incorporated.

Form teaspoons of the dough mixture into balls and then flatten to form a cookie shape. Place the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (You can also use a silicone liner if you have one).

Bake for 12-15 minutes. If you let them get a little more browned, they become a bit crispier when cooled. If you cook them a bit less, they will be more of a soft and chewy cookie.
