Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These low-carb chocolate chip cookies are completely grain-free and gluten-free. They are somewhere between a keto chocolate chip cookie and a chocolate chip fat bomb. These cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth and nourish your body with healthy fats and grain-free yumminess.

Made with hazelnut flour, these cookies have a satisfying nutty texture. I’ll even show you how to make them entirely keto if you don’t want any sugar at all.

Why This Recipe Works

These grain-free chocolate chip cookies have a salty-sweet flavor vibe.

When I make a batch at our house, the kids and the husband can’t keep their hands off them. I like knowing that my family is snacking on a healthier cookie.

Picking the right grain-free flour

You have a few options when baking with gluten-free flour.

Coconut Flour

Coconut flour is a solid option, especially if you can’t eat nuts. However, I find it a little on the dry side in baked goods.

Nut Flours

Most commonly, finely ground almond flour is used as a substitute when doing low-carb or keto baking. Almond flour would work just fine in this recipe.

I chose hazelnut flour, more commonly marketed as hazelnut meal in this recipe, because of its rich nutty flavor.

NOTE: Find hazelnut flour in most well-stocked grocery stores.

You can order it online here if you can’t find it locally.

Low Carb Chocolate Chips

I used extra dark chocolate chips, which have a small amount of sugar. My favorite brand of baking chocolate is Guittard.

If you want to avoid sugar altogether, you can use monk fruit and/or erythritol-based chocolate chips, such as Lakanto’s or Lily’s.

Keto Sweeteners

There are many keto sweeteners on the market. For baking, I chose the confectioner’s sugar-style sweetener.

Swerve is a great choice. Lakanto is also one that I use quite often.
