Here’s What You Need For Chewy Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp binding ingredient
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 1 stick salted butter
- 3/4 cup granular sweetener of choice (we used half Ketose+ Sweet granular and half Lakanto Golden)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or imitation vanilla
- 1 egg
- 4 ounces cream cheese, full fat
- 1/2 cup of Lily’s stevia sweetened chocolate chips
Recipe Notes:
If you have vanilla extract to use, that works best. However, lately we’ve been noticing the prices of vanilla extract have been very high, so if you only have imitation vanilla, that will work just fine.
Sweeteners: We think the best tasting baked goods often have a blend of sweeteners. We link our favorite products so you can try for yourself, but as always, this is just our suggestion and you can feel free to use whatever sweeteners are your favorite! This goes for if you are not concerned about the sugar content as well. We think the granular sweeteners we use as sugar substitutes measure and taste just like sugar, so we imagine subbing 1:1 would work just fine. We love Ketose+Sweet granular because it’s an allulose, monk fruit and stevia blend, giving it a rounded, authentic “sugar” taste. We also included some Lakanto Golden in this recipe for a yummy brown sugar type of taste.
Flour: We often get asked about substituting flours for people that aren’t keto or gluten free. We are definitely not experts. We have grown to like baking as it’s sort of a necessity for our special diet, but we kind of just experiment a lot until we find what works. We usually use almond flour and we find the texture to be closest to regular white flour in our experience, so we imagine subbing 1:1 regular flour would work okay. Again, we aren’t guaranteeing anything! In this recipe we think the coconut flour is absolutely necessary if you’re working with almond flour as well. We don’t recommend substituting coconut flour for almond flour 1:1. Coconut flour can be very drying, so it has to be handled carefully.

Let’s Make It!
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add your almond flour, salt, binding ingredient and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, melt your butter and add in your sweeteners. Cream together well with a hand mixer. Next, add your cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar free maple flavored syrup. Cream together again with the hand mixer.
Add in the egg, mix together well. Then, add the wet mix to the dry mix and combine well.
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Form the dough into 12 balls, place on a cookie sheet. They will not spread much while baking, so make sure you’re okay with the shape.
Put in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
