Looking for a sweet bite with an irresistibly chewy texture?  These Keto Chocolate Cookies are perfect. Made with almond flour, nut butter,  and rich cocoa powder, these cookies will satisfy your chocolate cravings, all while avoiding the traditional carb overload.

Fall is my favorite time of year and what better way to celebrate than with a batch of Keto Chocolate Cookies?

Perfectly chewy and packed with rich cocoa goodness, these cookies bring the joy of a sweet treat without any of the guilt that typically comes with indulging. They are gluten-free, dairy-free and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• Nut Butter: Use either peanut butter or almond butter.  I’ve used peanut butter to calculate nutritional value, so adjust your net carbs accordingly.
• Maple Syrup Substitute: Besti is my go-to brand.
• Sugar Substitute: I used a monk fruit allulose blend that has equal sweetness cup for cup as sugar.  
• Stevia: This is optional, but a few drops can help make these cookies a bit sweeter.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Make sure you choose unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Eggs: I recommend large eggs.
• Vanilla Extract: Vanilla bean paste could also be used.
• Sea Salt: Use your favorite fine salt.
• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: You can use either dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate.
• Chopped Pecans: Walnuts or macadamia nuts could also be used.
