Equipment to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mixing Bowls (medium and large)

Electric Mixer

Baking Sheet

Silicone Mat (or parchment paper)

Specialty Ingredients

Almond Flour

Xanthan Gum

Bocha Sweet – I actually had someone ask that I make more recipes using Bocha Sweet. It is more expensive than erythritol-based Swerve Sweetener, but it really helps to give these cookies a nice soft-batch texture.

I’ve read that Allulose also gives a similar texture, but I have not tried that out yet. For a crunchier cookie, I recommend using Swerve Granulated Sweetener.

Yacon Syrup – This is totally optional, but provides an amazing flavor for the cookies. It’s a low-carb alternative to molasses.

Lily’s Chocolate Chips – Lily’s makes both dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips that are sweetened with Stevia. Either kind will taste amazing with this recipe.
