Butter: The base of our cookie dough is butter. I use salted.

Powdered Sweetener: We use and recommend Lakanto Powdered Sweetener. It’s all natural, keto friendly, and has zero impact on blood glucose. It tastes the closest to real sugar as well. Use code THATLOWCARBLIFE at the above link for 20% off your order.

Almond Flour: Be sure to use a finely ground almond flour, not almond meal, for the best texture. I have not tested this recipe with other flours.

Molasses: This one is optional, because it’s not technically keto as it’s made from sugar. That said, we’re just using a tiny amount and it really does give these that brown sugar flavor that you need in a cookie dough. Highly recommend.

Sugar Free Chocolate Chips: My husband prefers his cookie dough to be without chunks of chocolate chips, so I usually only add them to half the batter. Lakanto makes a great sugar free chip and so does Lily’s.

Vanilla: It’s not a cookie without vanilla!

You’ll notice above that we get a lot of our keto supplies from Thrive Market. I’ve shopped around and they seem to have the best prices and I love that you can sort the whole store by dietary needs. Their keto section is impressive, but we also grab snacks for the kids and more at Thrive!

It is a membership site, much like Costco, but we’ve found the plan to be well worth it. They have monthly and annual plans. Check it out here!

How to:

Beat the butter, sweetener, molasses, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Beat in the almond flour and salt until well combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

You can use any variety you prefer. My family likes milk chocolate, but I prefer semi-sweet. There’s no wrong answer here. 😉

Use a small cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for one hour to firm up and then transfer to an air-tight container.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Molasses is not technically keto - it's the byproduct from boiling sugarcane. You may leave it out entirely if you're following a strict keto diet with a focus on clean ingredients. Otherwise, please know that this is adding less than 1 carb to each cookie dough ball, but it does help to give these a bit of a brown sugar flavor like you'd find in a traditional cookie dough.

Do NOT bake these. They're meant to be eaten cold and will not bake into cookies.
