Delicious and easy-to-make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies that are low in carbs and perfect for a ketogenic diet. These cookies use cashew butter and allulose for a naturally sweet, gluten-free treat that satisfies sweet cravings without the guilt.

Ingredients

Dry and Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashew butter (smooth and creamy)
  • 1/2 cup allulose (See notes)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup keto chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large tray or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, allulose, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and the dough is smooth. Fold in the keto-friendly chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly.
  3. Optional Chill: For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up, which helps maintain shape during baking.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Use your hands to form 12 small balls of cookie dough. Place each ball onto the prepared baking tray and press down slightly to create thick cookie shapes.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a golden brown color, indicating they are cooked through.
  6. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray. This cooling step helps them firm up and develop the perfect texture.

Notes

  • Allulose is a low-calorie sweetener that behaves similarly to sugar and is suitable for keto diets.
  • For a thicker, chewier cookie, refrigerate the dough before baking as mentioned.
  • You can substitute cashew butter with almond butter if desired, but note flavor differences.
  • Ensure to use sugar-free or keto certified chocolate chips to keep the cookies low-carb.
