I have just republished the post with new details to bring it up-to-date and help you make the best low carb chocolate chip cookies EVER. I have also shot new images to show you how they turn out with various ingredient tweaks.

Rich and delicious: The recipe contains a secret ingredient that makes the taste and texture richer, creamier and infinitely more yummy: cream! This is a trick I learned from my mum (who learned it from her mum!)
Versatile: I have made this recipe so many times that I have tried and tested all variations possible - from dairy-free to egg free, from soft to crispy. Whatever your requirements are, I've got the solution.
Low carb: One cookie contains just 1.7g net carbs. It is the perfect sweet treat to enjoy while keeping blood sugar levels stable.

Next, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is the best way to prevent cookies from sticking to the baking sheet. It works much better than greasing the sheet with butter or oil.
STEP 3: Roll the batter into cookie dough balls (or portion them with a cookie scoop) and place them on the baking sheet. The dough will still be a tad soft and sticky.
The mixture makes 10 cookies with a diameter of around 6 centimetres. (I tried so much of the dough we only ended up with 9!)

Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. After that, you have the option to carefully transfer them onto a cooling rack to cool fully.
Keto cookies are really soft and fragile when fresh out of the oven. Let them cool fully before eating them. They firm up as they cool down.
As almond flour does not contain gluten, low carb cookies are always softer than their wheaten counterparts. The browned edges still have a lovely crunch though.

3. Bake them for longer. You want the edges to be golden-brown. Consider placing aluminium foil over the cookies so they don't burn and add another few minutes to the oven time.
With a wooden spoon. Then you leave the cookies in for longer. The air circulating around them will help them to continue crisping up.
3. Watch out that your cookies do not brown much. Take them out as soon as the edges start to turn golden!

In the image above you can see the difference between a cookie made with cream and butter (on the left) versus one where I have replaced the cream with more butter.
I had them both in the oven for exactly the same time (13 minutes). The butter-only cookie browned more than the one that also contained cream. It also spread more.
Here are more ideas on how you can change up the recipe. All tweaks have been tested by myself over the years.
Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Coconut flour chocolate chip cookies: Use 40 grams or ⅓ cup of coconut flour instead of almond flour. Coconut flour absorbs a lot more moisture than almond flour, that's why you need less of it. You may want to add ½ a teaspoon of xanthan gum to make them a little firmer.
No egg: This low carb chocolate chip cookies recipe also works without the egg! The end result is crispier (but also more fragile when hot). Add an extra splash of cream to loosen the dough.
Make them nutty: Add ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts to the dough. If you decide to do this, keep the cookies larger and thicker so they don't fall apart.

If the cookie dough is too soft, simply put it in the fridge for 10 minutes to let it firm up. This helps the butter to solidify.
The recipe works best with a medium egg. If your egg is large, increase the amount of extra fine almond flour by 2 tablespoons.
For crispy cookies, always use erythritol-based sweeteners. This can be either pure erythritol or erythritol blends that also include monk fruit or stevia. I also recommend trying golden erythritol in the recipe. This is a brown sugar alternative. It adds a lovely caramel flavor.

Use coconut flour as mentioned in the Recipe Variations above, or replace the almond flour with a 50/50 blend of sunflower seed and sesame seed flour.
I recommend storing the cookies in a cookie jar at room temperature for up to 5 days or in an airtight container in the fridge for 7-10 days.
Yes, you can freeze almond flour chocolate chip cookies! They stay fresh for up to 3 months. I freeze them in a single layer and then transfer them to a freezer bag. This way, they don't stick together.

Note: The servings slider only changes the first amount in each line and not any subsequent amounts. Please make your own calculations where necessary.
If you like chewier cookies, make them thicker than ½ cm and reduce the baking time to 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, flatten them further.

I really thinkcold butteris essential to get the best low carb cookies. It's very hard to “cream” it with the sweetener, but just do your best and keep the mixer as low as it'll go. You'll end up with cold little butter balls and that's a perfect consistency before you add the egg.
I've made this recipe with bothbrown sweetenerand white. I love the added depth of flavor you get with brown, so I'd highly recommend it.
Chill the keto cookie dough.Don't skip this one. I put the tray in the freezer (after forming the balls) for about 10 minutes. This helps to avoid melty low carb keto cookies once they go in the oven.

These cookies bake FAST.Be sure to keep an eye on them because the oven is really hot. When they start to get brown on the edges and tops is when I take them out. I'd rather underbake this keto cookie recipe than overbake it any day.
They'll be really gooeywhen you take them out, but they'll continue to cook as they cool, which will give you the texture you're looking for. Use caution because there is an egg in this batter, but it should be sufficiently cooked.
As is true with pretty much all keto desserts, they taste even better the next day!You can store these cookies in the fridge or cover them and leave them out.
