Low carb chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour, which you know is gluten free. This means you need to add xanthan gum to act as a binder that will keep your cookies from falling apart. Using erythritol will sweeten your low carb chocolate chip cookies without the need for traditional sugar.
Many contain too much sugar compared to protein and are overly processed. With that said, you can find a low carb protein cookie that is a healthier alternative than a “normal” cookie. We recommend looking at the protein and sugar in each serving before indulging. The protein should ideally be higher than the amount of sugar in the treat.
Buttery keto shortbread cookies are a perfect snack for the holiday season. Unlike sugar cookies these shortbread cookies are less sweet and a little softer with a buttery flavour. I love this time of year as I enjoy spending time in the kitchen developing new ways to make traditional recipes into low carb recipes.
Try this Argentinian classic, keto alfajores, which features a caramel filling in a shortbread cookie. Or, bake these low carb chocolate tim tams, which are a favorite in Australia, and are made up of a soft filling, crisp cookie layers, and a decadent chocolate coating. We’ve also included a traditional Swedish keto hazelnut cookie.
