These are the best!
One of the most popular recipes for those on the Keto Diet is chocolate chip cookies. The reason is that not only are chocolate chip cookies loved by all, but they are notoriously full of carbs (a big no-no for the keto diet). Fortunately, there is a solution.
Low carb cookies are actually easy to translate from a normal recipe to a low carb recipe. Just substitute any flour added with either the same amount of almond flour or one quarter as much coconut flour. Substitute the sugar for some type of sweetener like stevia or Erythritol and you will have a keto converted recipe.
What Substitutions Are Allowed for Baking Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Some like to use use coconut flour, however, only use 1/4 of the amount compared to the almond flour, otherwise, your cookies will be dry and not very nice. (Only use 1/3 of a cup of coconut flour). Just in case you’re allergic to nuts and still, want keto chocolate chip cookies
I like to add walnuts to chocolate chip cookies, so the recipe calls for walnuts. Nuts are allowed on the keto diet, so it’s a great addition and you can use several types. But, many aren’t partial to nuts in cookies.
To make the chocolate chip cookie chewy and crisp you may also want to try adding beef gelatin powder. Adding gelatin is adds a texture that is awesome, so you may want to try adding 1 tbsp if you like having them more chewy.
