Keto Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Double the chocolate, double the fun
What’s better than a Keto chocolate chip cookie? A Keto double chocolate chip cookie. That’s exactly what I’m making today. Big shout out to my friend Ranbir Kapoor (not the actor) who carried the Lily’s chocolate chips for me from the USA. Every since I got my hands on these bad boys I was wondering what to make and this recipe just called out to me. I’ve said before that I’m not the biggest fan of cookies in general though I am warming up to them now. I have made a regular Keto chocolate chip cookie recipe and also a Keto peanut butter cookie recipe which you can check out. Anyway enough jibber jabber, enjoy the recipe.
Substitutes & Information
These cookies are really delicious but as always people are going to have questions about substitutions. So here are my comments.
Chocolate – If you can’t find stevia sweetened sugar free chocolate chips then worry not. You can still make these cookies using Lindt 85% which is my staple for recipes. While it does have sugar it will only increase the carb count of this cookie by 1-2g net carbs per serving.
Peanut Butter – If you don’t like, have, or want to use it there are options. Almond butter or any other nut butter will work as a substitute. You can even use 100g of almond flour instead but I do feel having the nut butter contributes to the texture of the cookie.
Butter – This is more of a note than a substitution. I use salted butter that’s why I didn’t add any salt to these cookies. Salt is a really huge factor in bringing out the chocolate flavour so if you are using unsalted butter for this recipe then please throw in a pinch of salt.

Keto Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond Flour I use this
- 100 grams Peanut Butter Order Online
- 30 grams Melted Butter
- 20 grams Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Order online
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder Order Online
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract Order Online
- 100 grams Sugar Free Chocolate Chips I use this
- 75 grams Erythritol (Powdered) Order online
Instructions
- Start by sifting the dry ingredients, almond flour, cocoa powder, eryhtritol and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook on a low heat till it turns brown. Remove from the heat and once it cools a little add 100 gram of peanut butter and a tablespoon of water and mix well.
- Then power the brown butter peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients along with the egg, vanilla extract and chocolate chips and mix well to form the cookie dough.
- Weigh the entire cookie dough using your kitchen scale and divide the total weight by 10 to make 10 cookies. Roll the cookie dough into 10 equal balls.
- Preheat the oven to 180C and then place a sheet of parchment paper or a silpat on your baking tray and place your cookie dough balls on it. Then press down on them and shape the cookies. You can make them as thin or thick as you like.
- Then bake in the oven for about 12 minutes till the edges are starting to turn dark. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Unless you are like me in which case you can just wait till they are warm.
- Enjoy your cookies. Store in an airtight container for weeks.
Hi Everyone, remember to add the vanilla with the wet ingredients; it’s not listed in step 2 or 3 where it should be.
I have made this recipe six times now and it is absolutely delicious. I add 1/4 tsp of salt (because I use unsalted butter) and 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (to help it hold together better).I also sub out half of the almond flour with lupin flour. I add in finely chopped walnuts and before baking I sprinkle the top of each cookie with course sea salt. My husband is not keto and usually won’t eat my sweets, but he tasted one and said that they were really good. Thank you for an awesome recipe.
When does the vanilla extract go in?
Oh shoot I forgot to add that in the video I think. Put it in when you add the egg.
I made these today and they’re really good. I especially like that they don’t taste like almond flour. They just taste like thick, fudgy chocolate cookies. I used allulose, btw, in the same amount. Thank you for this recipe. 🙂
They are in the oven as we speak. Followed the recipe to the tee. But i added macadamia nuts to them. I can smell them already 3min til they are ready!
Can you sub out the almond flour?
Not a lover of almonds myself.
I’ve never done it for cookies. But you can use any nut flour that’s fine.
Do the cookies have a peanut butter taste?
Very mild. You can also try it with any other nut you prefer.
