Perfect Keto Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These low-carb keto cookies are exactly what your body wants when it’s craving a sweet treat. They’re made with shredded coconut, coconut oil, and eggs and have 6 grams of net carbs -less if you omit the chocolate chips!

If you’re burnt out on the usual low-carb treats, it’s time to make this cookie!

If you’re wondering how they taste, imagine a coconut macaroon but warm and with melted chocolate chips. I don’t care if you’re keto or not, they’re the BOMB.com!

And, if you’re looking for more healthy desserts, be sure to check out my latest cookbook, Clean Treats for Everyone.

The Ultimate Keto-Friendly Dessert

Unlike the usual keto treat, fat bombs, these cookies are baked, so they feel like you’re eating that epic, warm cookie from the oven. It’s the type of cookie that will give you all the feels.

You might be wondering, what flour could create such a yummy treat and still be keto? Well, this cookie doesn’t contain any flour! Instead, I use finely shredded coconut to give the cookie both texture and a sweet flavor without loading on the carbohydrates.

What about the macros?

If you are doing keto or know someone who is, then you are aware that keto focuses more on the ratio of macronutrients- fats, carbs, and protein than caloric intake.

These keto cookies are a smart move if you’re in the mood for something sweet, with 7 grams of fat and only 6 grams of carbohydrates per cookie, including the chocolate chips, they’ll satisfy that sweet tooth and keep you on track.

Chocolate Chip Variation

While the chocolate chips make these cookies an even tastier treat, they are optional. If you plan to leave them out, it will slightly alter the macronutrients to 8 grams of carbohydrates and 8 grams of fat.

I’ll let you make that decision, but I’m all about the chocolate!

More Keto Recipes to Love

Of course, being a mom to 3 kids, achieving those low-carb/paleo/keto, or any healthy lifestyle goal can be a challenge. However, instead of making 2 meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I discovered a way to create recipes that are both kid-approved and keep me on track.

In fact, creating recipes like this cookie and the ones below is what inspired me to create the Family Kickstart, a clean-eating guide with meal plans and recipes that everyone can get on board with! 

You can find more about the Family Kickstart here and to go along with it, I’ve included just a few of our keto, and low-carb recipes from the program as well as the type of recipes you can find on this blog site:

    The recipe calls for 1/3 coconut oil without designated unit of measure. Is that 1/3 cup?

      You can absolutely use real sugar in this recipe. The key is to keep it to granulated form (not honey or liquid). I hope this helps and enjoy!

      As they bake some of the coconut oil melts quickly and spreads onto the sheet pan. This is normal and the cookies themselves will hold up once baked and cooled.

    Very easy and nice cookie. I used about 3 tbs regular chocolate chips and 3 tbs choc sugarfree chips.

    Another question – is it really 1 tablespoon of vanilla? I’ve never seen more than 1 teaspoon used in a recipe.

      It is one tablespoon of vanilla in my recipe in order to make them taste more vanila-like. If you are not comfortable with that amount, use 1 teaspoon. I don’t’ find that the vanilla shines through with 1 teaspoon.

    Your video mentioned that the recipe included instructions for using stevia instead, but I don’t see that information included?

    P.S. Your link to the mini quiche has a small typo – mni instead of mini.

      I’ve added the note to the recipe, Marie. You’ll need about 24 drops of Stevia if you plan on omitting the Erythritol.
