This keto chocolate cookie recipe is made with coconut flour and almond flour and loaded with chocolate chips! Soft, chewy and the best quick and easy dessert! 

I love making keto cookies to have on hand, like keto chocolate chip cookies, chocolate hazelnut cookies, and these keto chocolate cookies! 

It’s no secret I love a good cookie. While chocolate chip cookies tend to be a fan favorite, I personally love double chocolate cookies. It’s perfect for those who love a rich chocolate flavor and give it an extra boost with chocolate chips. My version is made grain-free and without eggs, but you’d never tell- They are soft, chewy and melts in your mouth! 

Bonus? They are completely paleo, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free…but you’d never tell!

How to make keto chocolate cookies

Keto chocolate cookies are deceptively easy to make.

• First, you will prepare your flax egg, by combining one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
• Then,  you’ll combine the dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl, you’ll whisk together the wet ingredients, including the prepared flax egg.
• Fold through your chocolate chips.
• Using your hands, you will form small balls of dough and place on a lined baking tray. Press each ball into a cookie shape, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges slightly crisp up. 
• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow cooling on the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and tricks for PERFECT Keto chocolate cookies

• Do not overbake the cookies- They will continue to cook as they are cooling
• If the batter is too crumbly, add some milk to thin out slightly.
• Press each ball into a cookie shape. The cookies won’t spread.
• Reserve some chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies, to ensure each cookie is loaded with chocolate chips!
