Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
One thing I totally missed when I went low carb was chocolate chip cookies. My husband is a cookie fanatic and would eat them in front of me all the time. I just had to create a recipe that would cure my craving…….. and taste good.
Right off, I noticed that coconut flour is not the way to go when baking. I’m sorry, some of you may love it. I don’t. It takes longer to bake, soaks up all kinds of liquid and just doesn’t seem to crisp up. Almond flour is my go to and I use it for everything.
To make these cookies, the process is no different than any other cookie recipe. I personally don’t use two bowls when I bake. The way I figure it is simple- if I was using a stand mixer it would all go in one, right? Enjoy!
Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 1 dozen. Serving size – 1 cookie.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Lakanto Gold Sweetener (The BEST no after taste sweetener ever!!) Use Code MELISSA20 at checkout to save!
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips ( Recipe analysis does not include the chocolate chips, the brand I used was not listed as an option)
To make keto friendly simply skip the sugar free chocolate chips, they have artificial sweetener. Use 80% cacao chocolate chunks instead.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325º.
In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat egg, butter, sugar substitute and vanilla until creamy.
Mix in dry ingredients.
Spoon onto baking mat or cookie sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Move to cooling rack to cool.
NOTE* nutrition facts below state “serving size 12” , that is incorrect. The app is set up a bit odd, the serving size and numbers listed is for ONE COOKIE. The recipe makes 12.

I did research on the Lakanto sweetner, the 25.99 bag is only 3 1/2 cups of sugar, that’s really pricey. Before I spend that kind of money on it, (I currently use Eyrithtol and Xylitol, is there that much of a difference?
Melissa P-V says
Hi Laurie,
In my opinion the Lakanto is so much sweeter so I use a lot less. The thing I like the most is the lack of bitter and cooling. I have never been a fan of Xylitol. I don’t mind Erythritol, but by itself it has too much of a cooling for me. It burns my throat. So I usually end up adding stevia to it, which gets more expensive. With the monkfruit I don’t have to.
Hope that helps!
