These low-carb chocolate chip cookies are made with just seven ingredients and are Keto, gluten and sugar-free. Made with almond flour, that brings nuttiness, Swerve confectioners sweetener and Lilly’s sugar-free chocolate chips. Soft, slightly chewy, with golden edges.

This Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies is pretty straight forward and produces cookies that taste amazing. The dough could be made in advance and frozen for up to 1 month.

What is the best low-carb sweetener to use in this Keto cookie recipe? Any low-carb sweetener works with this recipe.

I used powdered erythritol, because it is my favorite for cookies like these. It creates a soft texture for my ultimate keto chocolate chip cookies. I personally prefer Swerve (confectioners) sweetener.

What chocolate to use for Keto Cookies?

Thre are quite a few brands that offer sugar-free, Swevia sweetened chocolate on the marker.

Keep in mind, that this chocolate still has carbs. It fact it adds carbs to the final product.

You can either buy a chocolate bar or a bag of low-carb chocolate chips.

You can either use dark or milk chocolate. As always, I do recommend using dark, because it is healthier, but it is up to you.

You can also find unsweetened baking chocolate, that is usually Keto friendly.

Brands that I like:

• Lily’s – bars and chips (around 8 g net carbs for dark)
• Trader Joes has sugar-free chocolate bars (about 12-14 g Net Carbs)
• Lind’s 90% cocoa, if you can handle the bitterness (around 7 g net carbs)
• Equal Exchange Organic Extra Dark Chocolate  (around 12 g net carbs)
•  Endangered Species Panther Dark 88% (around 17 g net carbs)
