Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies

Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies

Hello my friends!  These Mint Chocolate Cookies are by far my favorite keto cookies to date.  I have been experimenting with a number of cookie recipes for the holidays.  I wanted to create something that I felt was festive enough to serve with all my sweet treats but would be keto friendly. 

Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies

They taste a bit like a dark chocolate brownie with a hint of mint flavouring.  I love the combination of soft, chewy texture and chocolately flavour.  The mixture of mint and chocolate really gives these cookies a festive feel that is perfect for pairing with other holiday goodies.

I wasn’t always a fan of dark chocolate but once I began to follow a ketogenic lifestyle I quickly became a convert.  But if you don’t like dark chocolate, you probably wont like these cookies.  They are definitely not as sweet as a traditional cookie and very dark chocolate tasting.

Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

3 tsp stevia

Flour Alternatives:

  • 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.

Sugar Alternatives:

  • 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 great alternative that is low on the glycemic index.
  • Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and another popular low carb sweetener that can be used in baking.

Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies

Rather than drizzling dark chocolate overtop of the cookies I now dip them into the chocolate.  Very similarly to my Peppermint Dipped Chocolate Cookies.
