Sugar-Free Low-carb chocolate chip cookies
These sugar-free low-carb chocolate chip cookies are the best guilt-free cookies if you are on a keto diet or if you are diabetic.
We all love a sweet and crispy chocolate chip cookie, right? This easy Sugar-free chocolate chip cookie recipe won’t blow your blood sugar level!
What ingredients in a sugar-free Chocolate Chip Cookie
This one-bowl food processor cookie recipe is very easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients:
- Macadamia nuts – Macadamia nuts are very low in carbs and contain a good amount of fat. It is a great nut to use on a low-carb or keto diet and it blends really well. You can use cashews as a replacement but be mindful 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 blended with erythritol. Check out my article on the top keto-friendly sweeteners to learn which ones are the best.
How to make the best sugar-free cookie
If you love crispy borders, moist nutty center, and melted sugar-free chocolate chips, make this recipe 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 with roasted cocoa nibs. It won’t melt but it doesn’t contain sugar at all and it has a strong cocoa flavor.

Another great thing about these 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 these sugar-free chocolate chip cookies in a metallic box for up to a week.

Is it possible to substitute melted butter for the melted coconut oil?
Sure, no problem, use the same amount
Hi Carine
I love your website.its the most complete and varietal source for my diet.
Thanks.
Thank you so much, I am glad you find me here. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Hi Carine, I am keto & my son’s girlfriend is vegan. Would this recipe work with the flax seed egg (And would it work with the zucchini chocolate loaf)? Such a limit with these different eating plans! Thanks for any info you have. Love your recipes!
Hi, I didn’t try those cookies egg free. However, I have plenty of vegan keto recipes on the blog as I et Keto and hubby is vegan. For cookies I recommend either my keto vegan peanut butter cookie recipe here. For sweet loaf, I didn’t had good result using flaxegg so I won’t recommend adapting the chocolate zucchini bread vegan. Click here to see all my keto vegan recipes. I hope you found some that you all love, XOXO Carine.
This looks amazing
I will try it tonight
The blad i have for the food processor does choo z, cis this the one ?
If not Can i mix without a food processor ?
Thanks a lot
Cant wait to try them
You really need a food processor to make this recipe!
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
These cookies turned out great! I did cheat and use coconut sugar. I will make again!
Hi, I am so glad it turned out great! I love those cookies 🙂
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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 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.
Thanks for your suggestions, I’ll let you know how they go!
great! Hopefully it will work because it really taste amazing!
It’s so nice to see a healthy cookie, I am pinning this one for later, thank you for sharing this recipe!
thank you Sara! I love anything low carb low sugar so you should fine plenty of healthy baking recipe around the blog 🙂 see you soon ! 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 ! :))
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 got to be the healthiest cookies ever!!! I mean seriously…who can beat a cookie that looks so good as the ones in your pictures and its healthy too!!! Amazing!!!
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 🙂
Coconut, chocolate, cookies and healthy all in the same sentence? Sold! Can’t wait to try these! 🙂
Hi Sarah, I agree there is nothing better than a combo of coconut & chocolate 🙂 Enjoy the recipe! Carine.
my dream come true!
Hi Claudia, it is exactly what I thought when I gave my first bite in those cookies! OMG so delicious 🙂
