Triple Chocolate Keto Cookies



Triple Chocolate Keto Cookies


My son loves Chocolate!  He loved the Chocolate Chip Keto cookies so much that I decided to make this version just for him.  Cacao Powder has carbs and fiber in it but the antioxidants in it out weigh the little carbs in this cookie.  See net carbs in the nutritional information below.




Cookie Recipe:

1.5 Cups of Organic Almond Flour
1 Tsp of Aluminum Free Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp of Sea Salt (I use Murray River Gourmet Salt Flakes for a nice light taste) 
1/2 Tsp Organic Vanilla
1 Stick of Organic Grass fed Butter which is 1/2 cup
1 Organic Egg
4.5 oz Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips (You can add more if you like but will have to adjust carbs)

Frosting Recipe:

4 Tblsp Organic Heavy Cream
2 Tblsp Organic Terrasoul Cacao Powder
1/2 Cup Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener


Directions:
Preheat oven to 325

1.  In a mixer cream together the softened butter and Lakanto Goldent Monkfruit Sweetener.  Once fully creamed together add in egg and vanilla.

2.  In a separate bowl have the Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Baking Powder, and Sea Salt.  Stir the dry ingredients together.  (Do not add Chocolate chips yet.)

3.  Slowly add in the flour mixture into the mixer on a slow speed.  Once fully incorporated into a batter hand stir in the Lily's Chocolate Chips.

4.  Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to measure out around 30 cookies from mix.  Then flatten cookies  on a cookie sheet that has a silicone mat on it.  You can use parchment paper if you want but I found the silicone mat works much better and is more eco-friendly.  They will expand a tiny bit but not as much as traditional chocolate chip cookies so that is why I suggest flattening them a bit with either your hand or the bottom of a glass.

5. Bake 12 minutes.  The bottom will be browning at this point but you may think... these aren't done... well if you continue passed 12 minutes you could end up with hockey pucks rather than cookies and that is no good.   The cookies will be a little soft when you take them out.  Let them rest on the tray for 3 minutes before Pipping on the frosting.

6. Mix together the ingredients in the Frosting until smooth.

7.  Once cookies have rested outside of the oven for 3 minutes then add the Frosting to a pipping bag and pipe on to the cookies in a swirl.

8.  Let sit as long as your family can handle it (usually about 40 seconds for my son) and then gently take of tray.  I leave them on the tray up to half an hour.  I don’t stack the cookies for a few hours if possible.

Keto Glazed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Since my husband and son joined me on my Keto lifestyle they haven't complained at all because I am always trying to take my old recipes and adapt them to the Keto lifestyle!  My husband and son were craving some Chocolate Chip cookies... you know the soft yummy kind that melts in your mouth... well these certainly were a delight to their eyes and tummies!

For this recipe I took my favorite cookie base, and added a touch of Chocolate!  I hope you and your family will enjoy them!  Keto Micro information is below!

If you like these cookies check out the Cardamom Glazed Keto Cookie Recipe which is where this recipe started!



Cookie Recipe:

1.5 Cups of Organic Almond Flour
1 Tsp of Aluminum Free Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp of Sea Salt (I use Murray River Gourmet Salt Flakes for a nice light taste)
1/2 Tsp of Organic Vanilla Extract 
1 Stick of Organic Grass fed Butter which is 1/2 cup
1 Organic Egg
4.5 oz Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips (You can add more if you like but will have to adjust carbs)

Glaze Recipe:

3.5 Tblsp Organic Heavy Cream
1/2 Tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener


Directions:
Preheat oven to 325

1.  In a mixer cream together the softened butter and Lakanto Goldent Monkfruit Sweetener.  Once fully creamed together add in egg and vanilla.

2.  In a separate bowl have the Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Baking Powder, and Sea Salt.  Stir the dry ingredients together.  (Do not add Chocolate chips yet.)

3.  Slowly add in the flour mixture into the mixer on a slow speed.  Once fully incorporated into a batter hand stir in the Lily's Chocolate Chips.

4.  Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to measure out around 26 cookies from mix.  Then flatten cookies  on a cookie sheet that has a silicone mat on it.  You can use parchment paper if you want but I found the silicone mat works much better and is more eco-friendly.  They will expand a tiny bit but not as much as traditional chocolate chip cookies so that is why I suggest flattening them a bit with either your hand or the bottom of a glass.

5. Bake 12 minutes.  The bottom will be browning at this point but you may think... these aren't done... well if you continue passed 12 minutes you could end up with hockey pucks rather than cookies and that is no good.   The cookies will be a little soft when you take them out.  Let them rest on the tray for 3 minutes before glazing.

6. Mix together the ingredients in the glaze until smooth.

7.  Once cookies have rested outside of the oven for 3 minutes then add the glaze by spooning the glaze on and smoothing gently or if you want to be super fancy use a pastry bag.  I usually just spoon it on.  It doesn't take very much glaze to frost the cookies.  The warmth of the cookies will naturally melt and spread it a tiny bit too.

8.  Let sit as long as your family can handle it and then gently take of tray.

Cardamom Glazed Keto Cookies!


Cardamom Glazed Keto Cookies with Cardamom Vitality Oil

These are by far my favorite Keto treats to date!  I love love love love the taste of these cookies!  They remind me of those pink colored cookies that are soft and yummy but in a super healthy way!  Packed with healthy fats and only about 1 net carb each!  Woohoo!

I have adapted this recipe into 3 other fun and tasty varieties that my husband and son have enjoyed.
One of their favorites was Chocolate Chip! I will be adding more of the other flavor varieties soon.  
If you are a Chocolate Chip lover here is the link to the Keto Glazed Chocolate Chip Cookies!  The Cardamom Cookies are my favorite! So I hope you will enjoy them!
