Use keto-friendly ingredients!
A couple of key keto swaps we’re using for these cookies are super-fine almond flour and keto compliant chocolate chips!
I was able to find these Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate chips from my local health food store (or you could purchase online). They’re an excellent sub in for regular chocolate chips because they taste great and bake up well in cookies!
Also, my favorite sugar substitute for baking is Swerve granular because it tastes super similar to traditional sugar.
Easy breezy to make!
Just mix up all the ingredients in one bowl and transfer the dough to a parchment paper covered cookie sheet to bake! You’ll be biting into warm homemade cookies in just 10-12 minutes! Yippee.
I also happen to love walnuts in my cookies, along with a sprinkling of salt over the top for an extra delicious step!

Sometimes in life, we all just need a little chocolate fix!
This recipe is WINNING! What a yummy dessert. There’s nothing better than biting into a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie, and these cookies are amazing (so YUM). Anything that’s easy and delicious gets a thumbs up from me. I really enjoyed these!
Please note that the nutritional information in the recipe deducts all carbs from the sugar alcohols for the sweetener and for the chocolate chips, too.

how many carbs on the Keto Chocolate Chip cookies???? My Brother is a Diabetic and we need to count carbs for him . Trying to surprise him with sweets.
There are 3g of Net Carbs per serving. 🙂
Does anybody else notice a cooling effect when they bake with swerve?
I do…the aftertaste is like the minty feeling without the mint flavor?
I noticed this as well. Didn’t affect the taste at all so I wonder what it’s from? The cookies were really good! I will definitely make them again!!
I made these today and I was surprised at how good they turned out. Question. I was able to make 24 cookies out of one batch. Does that mean 12 servings is actually 2 cookies? Thanks!
Yay! SO glad you enjoyed them! Yes! If you were able to make 24 from the recipe above, then the serving size would be 2.
Awesome! Thank you for responding so quickly:)
You’re very welcome!
These came out soooo good! Thank you for the recipe!
oh hooray! we are so happy they worked out!
My 11 year old granddaughter and I made them and boy oh boy, are they good!
Aww, that’s awesome! Glad to hear how yummy they turned out, Isabel! Thanks for sharing with us!
Oh I’m so happy! Thanks for sharing ❤️
What other sugar subs do you recommend if swerve not available and also I would imagine this is gluten free as well right? TIA
Yes! This is Gluten free! Also, be sure to check out our sweetener guide! https://hip2keto.com/tips/best-sweeteners-diets-conversion-recipe/ Hope that helps!
I just made these cookies. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and about 1/4t of lemon along with the vanilla. I used the rest of my Lily choco chips which only measured 1c so, I added the 1/4c from my backup bag of Hershey’s Kitchens SF choco chips. I purchase them from my local market for about 1/2 the cost of the Lily’s brand at Whole Foods. (I will say the Lily’s brand seem to have better ingredients so, they are my preferred choice.). I also used the regular size cookie scoop and baked 15 cookies with about 1/2c of dough remaining. With that said, I will adjust the values to 1-1/2 to 2 cookies per serving for my calculator. I will also add that I flattened the cookies about 3/4 way through the baking…and I’m glad I did. It helped to make sure they were baked through. To be honest, preKeto, SUGARY FOODS were my problem and I haven’t found any sugar substitute that makes my taste buds happy. However, I am tolerating these cookies. They are the 1st Keto Friendly “fat bom” so far that I enjoy.
Oh good! SO glad to hear you have enjoyed them Roshel! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for sharing – so glad you are loving these 👍
I have a question, why are sugar free chocolate chips sooooo expensive! I would love to make these cookies, but the price of the chips are too expensive for me to use them. Got any suggestions?
As an alternative you can chop up a Lily’s chocolate bar in small pieces instead, as an idea.
Thank you for another great keto recipe. Although mine weren’t as pretty as the picture, they still taste so great. I tried a mix of lilys and white chocolate bake and believe. Turned out tasty.
That’s so great to hear! Thanks Jessica!
