How to store chewy keto chocolate chip cookies:
- They can be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag at room temperature for up to a week.
- I like to keep them in the freezer so that I have keto treats available all the time.
Regular flour and regular sugar should be avoided when on keto. Here are a few other options:
Other artificial sweeteners:
- Stevia is made from the Stevia leaf, I like to use both the granulated and powdered version of this in my recipes.
- Monk Fruit extract is made from Monk fruit, this is another sugar substitute that is low on the glycemic index.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and another popular keto friendly sweetener that can be used in baking.
- Coconut sugar could also be used however it is not strict keto and may increase blood sugar.
Low carb flours:
- Almond flour is my personal favorite for consistency and flavour. I like to purchase the Kirkland brand almond flour from Costco.
- Coconut flour can sometimes be crumbly in my experience but good in combination with almond flour. I like the Red Mill brand.
- Rice flour is my least favorite in terms of consistency but a great alternative for those who may have allergies.

Tips for keto baking:
- Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like almond flour instead of wheat flour and liquid stevia instead of cane sugar.
- Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
- Find recipes that you love, like these Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies, Dark Chocolate Almond Bars or Keto Turtle Cookies and use them in your must bake list.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
These will not rise so the shape that you place on the cookie sheet is the shape that will come out of your oven. Bake longer for a firmer cookie and shorter for a softer chewy cookie.
I often pair these with a decaf latte in the evening for a sweet bedtime low carb treat. These easy keto cookies are sure to become a part of your low carb diet.
