Once baked, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead/Freezer Instructions
As with many other cookie recipes, I usually make a batch of dough, then bake half and freeze the other half.
When you want a cookie, just bake the frozen dough by adding 2-4 minutes onto the cook time. These are perfect to have on hand for those nights when you just need a little something sweet!

I also want to Thank you for All the information you have provided on these cookies.
I look forward to seeing the other Recipes you have.
I made these and they were delicious but too soft. What if I use half almond flour and half rice flour to make them more crispier.
These are the BEST Keto cookies I have found. I made it right from the recipient and have an electric oven so they are perfect at 11 minutes. I am curious as to the calories per cookies. These are too good just to eat one! Thank
You so much for sharing!
Great recipe! Try sifting the flour twice for smoother cookies. I made these for my diabetic husband, swapping the sugar for 2/3 cup of agave nectar, which has a very low GI. They tasted so good. I also used 72% cocoa chips.
I just made these. Amazing!!!!
Question…. I used splenda brown sugar which has 2 grams of carbs per 1/2 tsp. I used 1/4 cup plus 2 tbls. How does that figure into the carb count ?TIA
can i use all butter ?
SOOOO good! Thanks!
Made these with powdered egg replacer and Swerve to replace the sugar. Wanted to make them vegan. These are awesome!
Best grain free cookies I ever made! So delicious! Crispy edges and softer center! Perfect texture and they do not fall apart.
Just made these today and followed recipe exactly as written using the coconut sugar option and Enjoy Life Chocolate chips. This is the perfect alternative to my “conventional” chocolate chip cookie recipe that calls for white flour and regular sugar. I love that the cookies in this recipe do not crumble or burn easily. Indeed, they’re as promised: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and slightly buttery. When trying new recipes that use flours without gluten, I worry about spreading, crumbling, and flattening. These cookies didn’t make any of my gluten free baking worries come true. Thank you for this recipe!
After I put in my ingredients on my app the macros are coming out to 9g a cookie? The coconut sugar was super high in carbs. What kind did you use ? Anyone else have this problem
I made these cookies tonight as I have been craving sweets and trying to eat healthier. I made it by the recipe but with the coconut sugar and I didn’t add the walnuts per my family’s request. They are sooooo delicious!!! The next time I will make sure to keep them a little smaller and add walnuts…maybe even the coconut flake!! Thanks for the great recipe!
These were tasty! I didnt have coconut oil so instead substituted 1 TBL of MCT oil. Also added 1/4 cup PB2 peanut butter powder. Next time I will add more since I cant taste the peanut butter. This recipe isnt as sweet but that’s the reason I like it! Very filling and delicious.
Can you substitute the brown/coconut sugar with stevia?? We trying to go low carb and your recipe sounds delicious
