When I call these genius keto cookies recipes, I’m not exaggerating. The recipes I’m about to share with you aren’t just throw-some-keto-stuff-in-a-bowl-and-hope-it-tastes-good recipes. Nope, these ketogenic cookies are some hardcore keto treats that have been expertly created for the ultimate tastegasm. 🙂
Now Let’s Eat Some Low Carb Keto Cookies!
I tried to include a wide variety of keto cookies from our Keto Desserts so you weren’t just looking through a list of 14 chocolate chip keto cookies (there are a lot of recipes for those) and three others. Nope, every single one of these recipes is quite different. Keto cookies go really well with some of our Keto Coffee, enjoy!
Can I Eat Cookies on the Keto Diet?
You can eat cookies on the keto diet when they are made with low carb ingredients. You must substitute wheat flour with almond flour or coconut flour to be keto-friendly. Also, you must substitute sugar and other heavy carb sweeteners with low carb sweeteners like erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia.
Our recipes all recreate your favorite cookie recipes with keto-friendly ingredients. They are so good you won’t miss the heavy carb cookies.
What Type of Flour Do I Use to Make Low Carb Cookies?
To make cookies low carb and keto-friendly you must use almond flour or coconut flour. Both types of flour have lower net carb amounts and have heavier fat content.
Almond four comes from ground up almonds. Coconut flour is dried, then ground, coconut meat. Both are great for baking and can be added to no-bake recipes, because both are safe to eat in raw form. Also, almond and coconut flour are good substitutes for eating a gluten free diet.
What Low Carb Flour is Best to Use for Baking Cookies?
It depends on who you ask and what you are making.
Almond flour is finer and has a smoother texture when it is used to make cookies. It has a higher carb content and more nutrient dense. It is an equivalent substitute to regular wheat flour at a ratio of 1:1.
Conversely, coconut flour has fewer total calories and less nutrient dense. Also bit more course and slightly drier. It is not an equivalent substitute to regular wheat flour. You will need to use less coconut flour compared to wheat flour at a ratio of 1:4.
All of our recipes are tested and designed with the proper ratios for successful coconut flour usage.
What Chocolate Chips are Best for Baking Keto Cookie Recipes?
The chocolate chips that are best for baking keto cookie recipes are the chips that best hold their shape and taste after baking. Most lower net carb chocolate chips are made with different ingredients so they each perform differently when baking.
In our experience Lily’s Baking Chips hold their shape the best when baking cookies and retain their sweet chocolaty flavor. Also, they are the most widely available chocolate chips to find at your local grocery stores.
