Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sweetener:
- Soften Butter:
- Soften the unsalted butter to room temperature.
- Cream Butter and Sweetener:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and keto-friendly sweetener until light and fluffy.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add Eggs:
- Add the eggs to the butter-sweetener mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add Vanilla Extract:
- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- Sift Coconut Flour:
- In a separate bowl, sift the coconut flour to remove any lumps.
- Add Baking Soda and Salt:
- To the sifted coconut flour, add baking soda and a pinch of salt. Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The coconut flour will absorb moisture and thicken the dough.
Add Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Shape Cookies:

- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Flatten Cookies:
- Flatten each cookie ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake:
- Bake in Oven:
- Bake the Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool on Wire Rack:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy:
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, enjoy these delicious and keto-friendly Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite low-carb beverage.
Note:
- Coconut flour tends to absorb moisture, so make sure not to overbake the cookies to maintain a soft texture.
- Customize the cookies by adding chopped nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
- Experiment with different keto-friendly sweeteners based on your preference. Adjust the quantity to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
