Ingredients Overview

This recipe keeps things simple but satisfying using low-carb pantry staples.

Main Ingredients:

Almond flour: Finely ground for a smooth, dough-like texture.
Butter: Adds creaminess and flavor. Use unsalted and softened.
Powdered erythritol: Keeps it sweet without spiking blood sugar.
Vanilla extract: Adds classic cookie dough aroma.
Salt: Balances the sweetness.
Sugar-free chocolate chips: Adds crunch and sweetness — use dark or semi-sweet keto chips.
Heavy cream or almond milk: Just a splash to bring the dough together.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cream the Butter

In a medium bowl, beat until fluffy:

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tbsp powdered erythritol

Use a hand mixer or a firm spatula to whip until light and creamy (about 1 minute).

2. Add Flavor

Stir in:

1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for flavor depth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

If the dough seems too dry, add:

1–2 tsp heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk

Stir until a soft, scoopable dough forms.

4. Fold in the Chips

Add:

2–3 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips

Fold until evenly distributed.
