Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup powdered erythritol
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2–3 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
Optional: 1 tbsp heavy cream
Directions
- In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter and sweetener until smooth.

- Chill for 10–15 minutes if you want a firmer texture, or dig in right away!
Notes

Tips for the Best Keto Cookie Dough
- Use fine almond flour, not almond meal: The texture makes all the difference here. Fine blanched almond flour gives that soft, smooth cookie dough consistency we all love. Almond meal tends to be grainier and can make the dough feel gritty or dry.
- If your dough feels too dry or crumbly, add a splash of cream or almond milk: Almond flour can vary by brand in how much moisture it absorbs. If the dough isn’t coming together easily, just stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk until it’s smooth and scoopable.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze in scoops for quick treats: This dough keeps really well! I like to use a small cookie scoop and portion it into little bites before storing. That way, you’ve got a built-in portion-controlled dessert ready anytime a craving hits.
Fun Ways to Switch It Up
- Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut oil instead of butter and skip the cream.
- Different Sweeteners: Allulose or monk fruit work great, just adjust for sweetness.
- Flavor Boost: Stir in a bit of peanut butter, cinnamon, or even a few chopped nuts.

FAQs About Keto Cookie Dough
Can I bake this keto cookie dough?
It’s meant to be enjoyed raw, but if you’re curious, you can try baking small balls at 350°F for 8–10 minutes. They’ll be soft and a bit crumbly.
Is raw almond flour safe to eat?
Yes! Almond flour is just ground almonds, so it’s totally safe to eat raw, unlike regular flour.
What’s the best sweetener for keto cookie dough?
Powdered erythritol or allulose blend gives the smoothest, most traditional cookie dough texture. Avoid granular, it’ll be gritty.
