Easy Keto Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies
These easy keto chocolate chip butter cookies are the stuff ketogenic diet dreams are made of. This simple recipe uses almond flour (just like our Keto pancake recipe) and butter to make a chewy and delicious low carb cookie. Even the cookie dough tastes like the real thing.

In my house, Chocolate Chip cookies are a BIG deal.  We like them buttery, a bit chewy, and often.  When I figured out that I could put together a pretty simple KETO chocolate chip cookie recipe, it was a GAME CHANGER. 

Plus, the cookie dough is super tasty too!

When I figured out that I could put together a pretty simple KETO chocolate chip cookie recipe, it was a GAME CHANGER.

I love all types of cookies but chocolate chip is definitely my favorite. 

Oh, and, I like my cookies homemade!  No store-bought Keebler Chips Ahoy for this guy.  Not a chance.

But when I started Keto, my cookie cravings went through the roof.  We’re talking about literal cookie dreams where I would wake up thinking I had just devoured an entire package of Oreo’s.

Yes, I’m a sugar addict.  I’m working on that!

I needed to come up with a recipe to stop my cookie cravings in their tracks, and these easy keto chocolate chip butter cookies definitely did the trick.

Sure, they’re a little bit different than your original chocolate chip cookies, but they are uniquely delicious in their own right.

Ingredients In Our Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Easy Keto Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies Ingredients
The secret to this simple cookie recipe is using both kinds of Swerve!

Our keto chocolate chip cookie recipe does not require too many crazy ingredients.  I’m betting you have most of them in your pantry already.

We marry familiar chocolate chip cookie ingredients like butter, vanilla, baking powder, and an egg with some of our favorite keto staples – Swerve, almond flour, and Lily’s Chocolate chips.

The secret to making this a great cookie recipe is the use of two types of Swerve sweetener.  We use both Swerve Confectioners and Swerve Brown.  Together, this delicious combo yields a great cookie!

Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

If you're not freaked out by the raw egg, you definitely should taste the dough here. It's a great keto chocolate chip cookie dough.

These cookies really are super simple to make.

We begin by mixing together the butter, both kinds of Swerve, the egg, and our vanilla extract until smooth.

Next, we mix in the almond flour and the baking powder,

Finally, we stir in the chocolate chips.

NOTE: For me, less is more on the chocolate chips, and I prefer fewer chocolate chips in my keto chocolate chip cookies (about 2 tablespoons).  But, if it’s to your liking, add in up to 4 tablespoons without raising the carb count.

Shape The Keto Cookie Dough Balls

Easy Keto Chocolate Chip Butter Cookie Dough Balls
You should end up with about 16 1-inch keto cookie dough balls.

Begin by using a cookie scoop (or hand roll) to make 16 one-inch cookie dough balls.

Place the dough balls on a silicone baking mat, parchment-lined, or greased cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

After baking for 5 minutes, press each cookie gently with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.

After 5 minutes in the oven, remove the cookie sheet.  

Press each cookie gently with a fork.  Rotate 90 degrees and press with a fork again to form a crosshatch pattern.

Place the cookie sheet back in the oven and continue baking for an additional 18-20 minutes.

Once the cookies are finished baking, transfer them to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before eating.

While these cookies are quick and simple to make, you definitely want to let them cool completely before enjoying.

  1. So does it matter if butter is salted or not?
    Also, wondering if coconut sugar may work ( more carbs I know)
    Thanks!

    1. I always use salted butter. I love the salty sweet taste it produces in these cookies. I would not use coconut sugar for these if you are trying to follow a low carb/keto diet. That said, I’m sure they would taste good.

      1. My dough came oit crumbled. I used an extra egg and it didn’t matter, added a lil water still crumbled. I used Red MIll Almond Flour. Any idea why?
        Thanks!

      1. if you can’t find swerve, or any brown sugar substitute, can you just use 1/2 cup powder or granulated swerve?

      1. Just made mine and they look amazing! Haven’t tasted them yet but I did taste the batter which was super yummy. Made these as a surprise for my husband who has been taking his diet super seriously but is only eating like a rabbit. So excited that these look just like the pictures!

  2. I thought I had brown sugar swerve but do not. Can I use the regular swerve sugar replacement in lieu? Thank you!

    1. Yes, you can. We’ve tried it both ways (with and without the brown sugar Swerve) and both worked. Bottom line, if you have the brown sugar Swerve, use it. If you don’t have it, don’t let that stop you from having cookies!

    2. I know it says one cookie is one serving. I followed the recipe and I got 32 one inch cookies. I’m baking them as I text . Can’t wait to try them. 😍

    Followed your recipe exactly. Only added about 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts to the batter. They baked up perfectly! I am going to keep this as my go-to chocolate chip recipe from now on. Just baked them and they do need to cool completely and they are so yummy, made 19 delicious cookies!

    1. When i typically make chocolate chip cookies i use Half butter half coconut oil will that work in this recipe and I add pecans.

    1. I didn’t have any “brown sugar” so just used more confectioners and then added brown sugar extract. Turned out yummy. Great recipe, thanks!

  4. Accidentally made without the egg as it wasn’t mentioned on the photo. Still came out edible but will try with the egg next time.

  5. Hie
    Looks very good but I am living in Switzerland where do I get the similar ingredients ? Like the sugar for instance
    Thx a lot

      Great cookies! I increased the number of cookies to 24 just sifted the flour. Also used white chocolate chips (my granddaughter loves them). Will be making lots of these!

  6. I just finished baking these. They are a little dry and crumbly. Is that the way they are supposed to turn out? This is my first Keto recipe I’ve tried.

  7. Just made these and sooooo good!! I didn’t have powdered sugar so I just use brown sugar to replace the powdered, I do this with my regular chocolate cookies also and it works great. Super soft, chewy cookies! Thank you!!

  8. Thanks for your reply Scott. I just want to confirm, the baking temperature is 300 F? Seems low for baking but I haven’t done much keto baking yet.

  9. 5 stars
    Made the cookies today just as you instructed, with the Lakanto equivalents, and they are excellent! I love these cookies! Thank you for a great recipe.

  10. 5 stars
    I made these and they are delicious but mines spreader thin and into each other. They are still so soft and delicious. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

    1. First time making this recipe…I made a half recipe to taste test recipe. The cookies are delicious! A wonderful Keto sweet treat. I will definitely make the full recipe the next time!!!

  11. This cookie recipe is very good. I’m a new comer to keto and almond flour is a bit gritty for me, but this cookie is the best so far that I have made.

  12. These are so good! I had so many left over I actually put some in freezer so that they won’t get bad! Now I can have one whenever! Thank you for this recipe!!

  13. Made these yesterday and they were so yummy! Making up two batches today with pecans added for hubby; he loved ’em!! I never thought I could enjoy such delicious cookies on a low carb diet. Thank you for posting this along with the tips!

    I just made these are they’re super yummy! Texture is slightly different, but still good. I roughly a half bag of Lily’s Dark Chocolate chips in mine and with my cookies scoop, I was able to make 23 cookies! I calculated the net carbs with my ingredients and it came to 1.09 carbs per cookie

  16. I just realized I used blanched almond flour and was wondering why the consistency felt off 😂 so now I have mine chocolate chip muffins in the shape of cookies, overall delicious. The second batch I did add 1/3 c of Swerve Granular sugar and a little more vanilla extract, followed directions and they tasted like regular Chocolate chip cookie dough. Such a good replacement when craving a sweet tooth! Thank you!
