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 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.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C).
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside,
In a food processor, with the S blade attachment, add all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and process until it forms a cookie dough.
Transfer the cookie dough into a mixing bowl and using your hands, incorporate the sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough.
Remove from the bowl and shape 8 cookies into balls similar to golf balls.
Place cookie balls on the prepared baking tray leaving 1 thumb between each cookie.
Flatten with your hand palm. If crumbly on the side reshape slightly with your finger until the sides look smooth.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden on the edges. Some oil may be released on the tray and that is fine.
Remove from oven and using a spatula transfer the cookies on a rack to cool down for 1 hour to firm up. They will harden when cooling down.
Storage: Store well in an airtight container or cookie jar for up to 1 week.Sugar-free chocolate chips alternatives: cocoa nibs or make your own following my sugar-free chocolate chips recipe.Nuts: you can use roasted or un roasted nuts in this recipe. Macadamia nuts replacement can be cashews (more carbs!) or blanched almonds.
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 or for chocolate chips cookie this one. 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
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
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 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,
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 ^-^
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.
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 🙂
Hi Sammi, this one is a super easy I love making them again and again. Sometimes I switch cashew nuts by macadamia or almonds to change the taste. Enjoy them! Carine.
Hi Lynne, Those are cookies with a soft centre and crispy outside. If you love sugar free baking this cookie is absolutely amazing!Enjoy. xoxo. Carine.
Hi Barbara, I just updated the nutrition panel of this recipe. Per cookie there is 3.5 g of net carbs. I hope you are going to make them ! Those cookies are delicious! Enjoy, Carine.
