What's better than sugar free cookies?
Sugar free cookie dough, of course!
Are you like me and get a warm fuzzy happy feeling when you're thinking about healthy sweets... and healthy cookie dough? Well, since you've found this page, I'm guessing you know what I'm talking about.
I have a sweet tooth and I always eat half the cookie dough when I make cookies - under the pretence that I've to taste if it's just right. And gosh, it always tastes SO GOOD!
That's why it was time to make sugar free edible cookie dough. I took inspiration from keto chocolate chip cookies.
Obviously, as this recipe is a no bake dough, I left out the raw eggs.
Why is this keto cookie dough recipe the IDEAL QUICK DESSERT?

Ingredients
- Almond flour - I used super-fine almond flour. Ground almonds work here, too, just add an extra couple of teaspoons as they're coarser.
- Heavy cream - Also called double cream. I am using it in place of butter and it works so well. For a dairy free option use coconut cream or coconut oil.
- Powdered sweetener - I used an erythritol monk fruit sweetener blend. Lakanto is a great option. However, any 1:1 sugar substitute works, from Swerve to Bocha Sweet to allulose.
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar free chocolate chips.
TOP TIP: In the US the stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips by Lily's are a good option. Or opt for dark chocolate with a minimum 85% cocoa content. I like the 90% chocolate by Lindt. Just break it into small pieces and you're good to go!
You can also make your own sugar free chocolate chips.

Recipe VariationsĀ

- Nut butter: Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter to the batter and reduce the cream to 2 tablespoons.
- Stir in chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans) instead of or as well as the chocolate chips
- Dairy-free: replace the cream with coconut cream.
- Change up the flavor: Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon or a pinch of sea salt.
- For a firmer cookie dough simply add more almond flour or a pinch coconut flour. For a softer dough increase the cream or add 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
Recipe FAQs
Yes. You can make a coconut flour cookie dough by using ā cup or 35 grams of coconut flour in place of the almond flour. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, that's why you need less.
Yes, you can use softened butter instead of the cream.
Store it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Absolutely! Desserts containing almond flour always freeze well. I froze the rest of my batch and gobbled a ball now and then when I felt I needed a treat š
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Possibly, but I have not tried it. This recipe is designed to be a no bake keto edible cookie dough. I recommend these recipes if you prefer to bake a batch:

Chocolate Ganache
- Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave (gentle heat!) or in a water bath. Mix.

I have made these several times now and instead of drizzling chocolate I push a half walnut into the top. Pretty and an extra crunch.

That is a great idea! Delicious.

I just made these. They are so easy to make. I did add a little more sweetener. Drizzled the ganache over them. I made them into very small sizes so I wonāt feel guilty if I eat two for a snack. Thank you for another great snack.
