Let’s be real; we all eat raw cookie dough even though we’re not supposed to. 

That’s why I’ve come up with quite a few edible cookie dough recipes (looking at you, vegan cookie dough!). Since dabbling in a keto diet, my family has been begging me to create a low-carb recipe, so I finally did it!

Why I love this recipe

• No raw flour. Like my protein cookie dough, there’s no time spent heat treating flour. Just mix everything together and dig in!
• Ready in minutes. I am all about desserts that offer instant gratification, and this recipe is precisely that. 
• 2 grams of net carbs. That’s nothing compared to regular cookie dough!
• Easy to modify. I’m making keto chocolate chip cookie dough, but you can change it up and turn it into just about any flavor you want.

Ingredients needed

• Almond flour. I prefer using blanched almond flour over almond meal or traditional almond flour, as the skins of the almonds are removed prior to becoming a flour state. It also has a lighter texture instead of gritty. 
• Coconut flour. Adds a thicker, cakey bite that enhances the cookie dough texture. 
• Granulated sweetener. I used my keto powdered sugar, but you can use any sugar-free sweetener, like allulose. 
• Sugar-free maple syrup. To bind the dry ingredients. I prefer to make my homemade keto maple syrup (it’s so easy!), but if you have some on hand, use that. 
• Coconut oil. Adds a buttery texture. You want your coconut oil to be soft, not melted. 
• Sugar-free chocolate chips. A must for any good cookie dough recipe! You can also use a chopped-up sugar-free chocolate bar.

How to make keto cookie dough

I’ve included step-by-step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Step 1- Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. 

Step 2- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and mix to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a spoonful of maple syrup or dairy-free milk. 

Step 3- Serve. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a thicker, denser cookie dough. 

Arman’s recipe tips

• Don’t melt the coconut oil completely. Otherwise, the cookie dough will be oily and melt the chocolate chips. The coconut oil should have the same texture as room temperature butter. 
• Shape the cookie dough. If I’m making this to share with friends, I find using a cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough balls is easier. If I really want to go the extra mile, I’ll even drizzle them with melted chocolate!
• Make keto cookie dough ice cream. Break the cookie dough into bite-sized chunks and fold it into keto ice cream.

Storage instructions

To store: Transfer leftover cookie dough to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. 

To freeze: Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to six months. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge.
