Low carb Chocolate Chip Cookies with macadamia nuts
I read all your emails, comments and lot of you requested easy low carb chocolate chip cookies. So here I am sharing with you my new creation. A one bowl food processor cookie recipe, because I love my recipe to be fast and easy. All you need to make those keto chocolate chips cookies are:
- Macadamia nuts – macadamia are very low in carbs and contains a good amount of fat. It is a great nuts to use on low carb keto diet and it blend really well. You can use cashews as a replacement but be aware of carbs! Cashews have more carbs.
- Unsweetened desiccated coconut
- Coconut oil – use refined coconut oil if you don’t like the flavor of coconut
- Eggs
- Coconut flour
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar free crystal sweetener – I love Monk fruit or erythritol
The best chocolate chips cookie texture
If you love crispy borders, moist nutty center and melted sugar free chocolate chips, make those now ! You won’t regret it. I am using sugar free chocolate chips, you can use either sugar free dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips If you can’t find sugar free chocolate chips at the store, make your own following my chocolate chip recipe. Last option, replace the sugar free chocolate chips by roasted cocoa nibs. It won’t melt but it doesn’t contain sugar and it has a strong cocoa flavor.
Another great thing about those Sugar free Chocolate Chip Cookies: they don’t use flour. They are made of low carb ingredients that create the most delicious crunchy cookies: coconut, coconut flour and macadamia nuts. Coconut flour is essential in this recipe. It brings all the ingredients together to create a crunchy cookie.
You can store those sugar free chocolate chip cookies in a metallic box up to a week. I hope you enjoy those cookies. Happy sugar free baking and if you love my clean eating recipes leave me a comment!

Hi Manal, Thank you for your lovely message. I love paleo cookies so much healthier and ‘guilt-free’ for those days when you really need a sweet treat 🙂
I am on the lookout for coconut flour recipes. I’ve got so much at my home and I do not know what to do with it. Great recipe, I will definitely make this cookies!
Coconut flour is such an healthy flour full of fibre and low carbs. But it could be very tricky to bake with it as it is really absorbent and you can not use much of it in recipes. I love using it in those cookies it really add something ! Enjoy them! Carine.
These are so good. I am defiantly trying them soon.
I hope you give it a whirl those cookies are so easy to make (and addictives too ! :))
It’s so nice to see a healthy cookie, I am pinning this one for later, thank you for sharing this recipe!

These look really good; can’t wait to try them. Are the cashews raw or roasted? Thank you. P.S. I’m so jealous that you live in New Zealand. Everything I’ve read and pictures I’ve seen indicate it’s a beautiful country that I hope to visit someday.
Hi Karen, I used raw macadamia nuts for this recipe but I am sure cashew works, roasted or not. Enjoy, XOXO Carine.
This is a great recipe ^-^ I make it for my mum as she can’t have the usual sweets. The only thing I changed is the sweetener as I do enjoy Coconut sugar ^-^
Hello! I am glad you love them! It is always a big hit in my house too but I never tried with coconut sugar. I will give it a try 🙂 Carine.
these look great, also good to know theres not so much flour in the mix. its true about not baking for too long so it wont be hard,the last set of cookies i baked were too hard. ill be careful next time. thanks for sharing.
Hello, Thank you ! I love low carbs cookies and those one are my favorite, coconut and cashews are such a great combo! But yes be careful on your baking time. This cookie recipe is using coconut oil which harden when cooling down. So even if the cookies looks soft after 10-15 minutes of baking they will harden after an hour at room temperature. Well, crunchy cookies taste good too but I prefer if the centre is a bit moist and soft. Enjoy them and see you soon on the blog! Carine.
I am buying cashews and I am going to make these cookies… the rest ingredients I already have. They look great! Definitely pinning!
Hi Ilona, Great news! I recommend you to buy cashew pieces, it is way cheaper and it will work well with those cookies anyway! Enjoy and let me know if you like them! Carine.
Bonjour Carine. I may be missing something here, when do you add the choc chips, sil vous plait?
Bonjour Pauline, sorry for missing that step! I updated the recipe now. You add the chocolate chips after the batter has been processed into the food processor. Transfer the processed cookie dough into a bowl and use your hands to incorporate the chips. You can also swap the chocolate chips by dried raisins, goji berries or nuts if preferred. A bientôt sur le blog et merci de me lire ! Carine,
What is desiccated coconut?
Hi Micaela, It is simply coconut meat that has been shredded. You can buy this in any baking aisle of your local supermarket. Simply watch for no sugar added version to keep the recipe healthy and low carb! You can read more about desiccated coconut here if you like. See you on the blog soon! Carine.
These look great ! Can’t wait to try! May I use raw cashews for This is what I have ? , thanks
Hi, Sure raw cashews will be perfect for those cookies! enjoy the recipe my friend. xoxo Carine.
They are perfect ! Thanks again
Amanda
Awesome ! I am so glad it goes well 🙂 enjoy the other sugar free recipes on the blog. xoxo Carine.

Hi, I am so glad it turned out great! I love those cookies 🙂
can I use something other than the desiccated coconut?
Hi, I never tried the recipe with something else than coconut but rolled oat may work as well – but it will increase the carbs! Enjoy the cookies! Carine
