Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter & Sweetener – In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and keto sweetener until fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips – Gently stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Form Cookies – Scoop dough into small balls (about 1 tbsp each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
- Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool & Serve – Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before baking.
- Coconut flour helps with texture but can be omitted if necessary (replace with ¼ cup more almond flour).
- Sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit blend work best for a balanced taste.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

✔️ Use finely ground almond flour – This prevents a grainy texture.

Q&A
🔹 Can I substitute almond flour with coconut flour?
Not directly. Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so you’d need ⅓ cup coconut flour for every 1 cup almond flour, and additional eggs/moisture.
🔹 What’s the best sugar substitute?
Monk fruit-erythritol blends or allulose work best for taste and texture.
🔹 Why are my cookies too dry?
You may have used too much coconut flour or overbaked them. Reduce baking time and ensure proper ingredient measurements.
🔹 Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes! Store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
🔹 How do I make them dairy-free?
Replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
