Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies! Creamy, insanely buttery, thick, rich cookies bursting with rich chocolatey goodness! Yummy low carb cookies so good you may have to hide them.
I feel like I should be posting the low carb pumpkin cookie recipe I made instead of these low carb chocolate chip cookies. Everywhere I look, it’s pumpkin everything. I mean I really love everything pumpkin, but I will not be pressured by social media.
Truthfully, I made two cookie recipes before surgery and loved them both so much I couldn’t make up my mind which one to post first. Eventually I decided to save the pumpkin recipe for next month.
Pumpkin technically is around all cold weather, right? At this rate, I’ll be posting those healthier pumpkin recipes until February so not to worry friends. The pumpkin avalanche is coming!
But back to these sugar free chocolate chip cookies! These got their fancy name from a friend who came over. I happened to baking these cookies and gave her one. Her reaction was “OMG that’s good!”
Keto chocolate chip cookies made with coconut flour and creamy, buttery cashew butter and mini chocolate chips!
This recipe for low carb chocolate chip cookies is insanely delicious, thick, creamy and only 141 calories each. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to spend the week than baking these keto cookies. Plus I’m sure cookies will help me recover from surgery sooner!
Now, who’s ready for some Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup cashew butter, or nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips, or dairy-free chocolate chips
- Stevia, to taste, or sugar free sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix cashew butter, egg whites, coconut oil and almond extract. In a separate bowl, sift together coconut flour (measured properly), sea salt and baking soda.
- Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Fold in the dark chocolate chips. Drop 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet to form a cookie. Repeat until the dough is gone and 12 cookies are formed.
- Bake at 350 F 8-10 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool 2-3 minutes on the pan then using a spatula transfer to a wire baking rack to fully cool.

Can I just use two regular eggs instead of just two egg whites?
You could use 1 regular egg. Two egg whites equal one egg.
Thank you!
These are delicious! Thanks
So glad you liked them!
If I was just doing it for a low carb diet could I substitute the coconut oil for butter?
You should be able to. I haven’t tried it. Coconut oil is low carb too you know.
These sound great! My favorite thing to bake is usually brownies, and I have to say I do love a good pumpkin-flavored baked dish. But it’s nice to have something non-pumpkin related in the mix too!
I can’t resist pumpkin either, but this time of year it does get to be a little much.
Hmm… I’m kind of a both and; I don’t mind doing all the pumpkin things, but I like doing other recipes too. These look really good and your description of them sounds AMAZING! Nut butter is magical when it comes to making cookies buttery tasting.
Oh yes, cashew butter especially!
These really do look amazing, I can see how they are your top post this month! I know you had a rough month with your surgery, but thanks for taking the time to linkup to Best of Blogs! I hope you will linkup again next month on Friday, October 28th! Pinning and tweeting as a thank you!
Sure thing Julie!
Yay! I haven’t made chocolate chip cookies in a while but these look super good! 😀 I need to find my coconut flour! (It’s somewhere in my pantry…I Just neglected to label it! x_x)
I can’t think of a better use of it. Hopefully you can find it Farrah!
Those certainly look OMG Good!
I will have to get some cashew butter and whip some up 😉
Esther, you won’t be disappointed! I’m addicted to these.
I need these today! Yum!!
So do I! 🙂
I have to admit, I am a little pressured to post pumpkin recipes since everyone is doing it but you are awesome for going with your gut and posting these beauties!! yum!
Thank you! There is plenty of time to get down with pumpkin and I like to sprinkle it in here and there.
