Sugar Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know, I know. It sounds like an oxymoron. Chocolate Chip Cookies are arguable the world’s most famous cookie–and sugar is a key ingredient in most recipes.

So what if I told you I found a way to make amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies with all the nostalgic good taste you remember . . .without any added sugar.

And then what if I told you these cookies are also gluten free?

You would make them. And then you would thank me.

• This cookie recipe uses brown monk fruit for a rich brown sugar flavor.
• No chalky aftertaste from monk fruit artificial sweeteners.
• Almond flour and real butter give them the perfect consistency.
• These Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies stay soft and chewy for days!

Ingredient Notes

Brown monk fruit sugar sweetener. This monk fruit based product includes Allulose, a rare form of sugar with no carbs or calories. Allulose replicates the molasses-forward flavor of brown sugar perfectly.

Almond flour. Not to be confused with almond meal, this gluten free flour had a mild flavor and high protein content, giving structure to the chocolate chip cookies. I like the superfine almond flour from Bob’s Red Mill. You’ll see me using this flour in our keto lemon bars too.

Coconut flour. We add a bit of coconut flour to the almond flour to help the cookies stay together. This combination mimics the taste and function of all-purpose flour, without gluten.

Lily’s semi-sweet chocolate chips. This brand has no sugar added but maintains a rich chocolate taste. You can find them in the natural foods section of your store or online. We use these in our chocolate chip shortbread cookies too!

Easy Instructions

Making sugar free keto chocolate chip cookies is just as easy as making regular drop cookies.

First, combine the wet ingredients. Beat butter with monk fruit sugars until combined. Mix in vanilla and an egg.

Next add the dry ingredients. Stir in the flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to form a dough.

Fold in chocolate chips: Add just 1 cup of the chocolate morsels to the dough. Reserve the rest for later.

Shape and bake. Scoop the cookie dough on to a cookie sheet, pressing each cookie down to flatten slightly. Press a few of the remaining chocolate chips onto each cookie.

Bake the cookies for about 9 minutes. Let the keto chocolate chip cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes.

Transfer the cookies to a rack. Let them cool completely before eating.

Tips and Tricks

• Be careful not to overbake. The cookies will still look slightly soft when you take them out of the oven.
• I find these taste even better the day after you make them. Feel free to make them a day ahead of time!
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. They’ll stay soft, chewy and perfect.
