Whether you’re looking for the perfect recipe to add to the dessert table at your next holiday party or a sweet treat to enjoy on your next movie night, these keto chocolate chip cookies are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious.
It’s no secret that chocolate chip cookies are some of the most universally loved treats on the planet. When I was a kid, I always loved helping my grandmother make chocolate chip cookies from scratch. To this day, the smell of freshly baked cookies always brings back some of my favorite memories.
Following a keto diet doesn’t have to mean stripping away your favorite indulgences, it just means you have to get a little more creative! That’s where this recipe for keto chocolate chip cookies comes in. All of the delicious decadence of the classic treat, without all the carbs.
What will I need to make these keto chocolate chip cookies?
To make these cookies, you will need butter or coconut oil, granular sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar-free chocolate chips. As for your kitchen tools, you will need an electric stand or hand mixer, mixing bowl, mixing spoon, parchment paper, and a baking sheet.
Allowing about 10 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes for the cookies to bake, this recipe can be completed from start to finish in just 20 minutes. I don’t know about you, but there have been many nights during quarantine when I’ve found myself craving a sweet treat. Because I typically have all of these ingredients on hand, this recipe has come in handy on many occasions this past year, usually accompanied by a good movie and a warm blanket.
How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Serving and Substitutions
These are some of my favorite serving styles and substitutions for Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- If you aren’t following keto, you can sub out the sugar-free chocolate chips for regular chocolate chips.
- I highly recommend pairing these cookies with a tall glass of whole milk or a generous scoop of ice cream… or both, treat yourself!
- For a little holiday twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon.
Make Ahead Ideas
You can make these cookies ahead of time and then freeze them to save for later. This is especially handy if you want to make a larger batch to enjoy some now and some later at your convenience. To do this, all you have to do is let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet, then place them in the freezer (still on the sheet) for about 20 minutes. Once you’ve done this, you can transfer the cookies from the sheet to an airtight Ziploc bag, then freeze them for up to a month. Whenever you’re ready to eat your cookies, just reheat them in the oven and eat up.
The recipe for these indulgent keto chocolate chip cookies is one of my all-time favorites. Try them out, share with your loved ones, and be sure to make some extras because I can pretty much guarantee that one batch won’t be enough once you get a taste!
