Why I love this recipe

  • 6 Ingredients. Simple and easy-to-find keto ingredients that you probably have in your pantry now!
  • Quick and easy. The entire recipe takes less than 12 minutes to make, and there is ZERO chill time required.
  • Perfect texture. Crisp edges, soft and chewy in the middle, and loaded with chocolate chips.
  • Flourless. Most cookies need either some almond flour or coconut flour to bind, but not these ones.

Ingredients needed

  • Cashew butter.Gives the cookies a buttery texture without the need for any butter or oil! You can substitute this with tahini.You can replace the cashew butter with tahini, almond butter, or peanut butter.
  • Allulose. Unlike other sugar substitutes, allulose dissolves exactly like white sugar does and has no bitter aftertaste. I’ve tested these with monk fruit sweetener (okay), baking stevia (had a weird aftertaste), and swerve brown sugar (too grainy) and none come close to allulose.
  • Baking Soda. It helps the cookies from overspreading while helping them hold their shape.
  • Eggs. Room temperature.
  • Pure vanilla Extract. A must for any good cookie recipe!
  • Keto dark chocolate chips. The star ingredient. I used homemade sugar-free chocolate chips. You can also chop up a keto chocolate bar if you’d like pools of chocolate throughout.
  • Kosher salt. Just a pinch to bring out the sweetness.

Arman’s recipe tips

  • Avoid over-mixing the dough, as it can affect how thick they remain, and soft and chewy.
  • If you prefer thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 45 minutes.
  • Do not over-bake the cookies as they continue to cook as they are cooling down.
  • If you enjoy your cookies loaded with chocolate chips and evenly dispersed, mix half the chocolate chips in the batter and reserve the other half for the top of them. Also, consider removing the cookies from the oven around the 8-minute mark and adding a few more on top.

Storage instructions

To store: Leftover cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If you’d like them to keep longer, store them in the refrigerator.

To freeze: Place leftover cookies in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
