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 these 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?

🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- ready in ONE MINUTE
- gluten-free
- indulgent and full of flavor
- smooth, soft and creamy texture
- kind of marzipan-ey, with delicious notes of vanilla
- stuffed with chocolate chips
- only 1.4 grams net carbs per cookie dough bite
- basically, instant pleasure.
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 - 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.
Instructions

★You don't need any special kitchen equipment.★
Step 1: Get yourself a mixing bowl and fork. Put all ingredients into the bowl.
Step 2: Mix all ingredients until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Enjoy straight from the bowl or roll into little balls.
Serving Suggestion
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop and form bite-sized cookie dough fat bombs.
- Roll it into little balls with your hands. Option to decorate with a quick chocolate ganache like I did.
- Or.... eat it with a spoon straight from the bowl 🙂
And here are some more ideas:
Cookie Dough ice cream: Why not roll the dough into mini balls and use to jazz up this sugar free ice cream.
Or roll out the sugar free cookie dough as a no-bake crust for a decadent cheesecake!
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate keto cookie dough: Add a tablespoon of unsweetened chocolate powder.
- 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 ⅓ cup or 35 grams of coconut flour in place of the almond flour. Or, make my keto cookie dough, which is a coconut flour recipe.
Yes, you can use softened butter instead of the cream.
Store it in an airtight container 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 🙂
Freeze for up to 3 months.
I don't recommend it. This recipe is designed to be a no bake keto edible cookie dough. To bake the recipe into cookies, you would need an egg or xanthan gum to bind the dough. Or, use butter in place of the cream. I recommend these keto cookie recipes instead:
Sugar Free Sugar Cookies
Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Keto Coconut Flour Cookies

Sugar Free Cookie Dough (Chocolate Chip)
from Sugar Free LondonerNote: The servings slider only changes the first amount in each line and not any subsequent amounts. Please make your own calculations where necessary.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (100g) ***
- ¼ cup double (heavy) cream (60g)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener or 2, depending how sweet you like it
- ¼ cup dark sugar free chocolate chips (40g)
For the optional chocolate ganache:
- 2 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips (20g)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl, adding the chocolate chips last.
- Don't forget to taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary!
- Roll into balls.
Chocolate Ganache
- Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave (gentle heat!) or in a water bath. Mix.
- Fill into a plastic sandwich or freezer bag, pinch off a corner/poke a hole into it and get decorating. You can also fold baking paper into a triangular shape so it makes a funnel and pinch off the bottom. Alternatively, just dunk the balls in the melted chocolate 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.
Katrin Nürnberger
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 won’t feel guilty if I eat two for a snack. Thank you for another great snack.
Jules
YUM!! This is so delicious. I’m going to make it again but with orange essence instead of the vanilla…
Jack
Your recipe is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt! The sugar-free cookie dough is made with natural ingredients and is a healthy alternative to traditional cookie dough. Loved your recipe!!

Oh my goodness! I have just picked myself up off the floor I was laughing so much... They store in fridge for up to a week, a WEEK!! I'll be lucky if they last until this evening! And as for rolling them into lovely little balls and decorating with ganache picture me NANOSECONDS after mixing... bowl, spoon, mouth noom noom - these are AMAZING xx

I’d like to know if I could bake these? If so would I need to change anything? My dad was recently diagnosed diabetic and is looking for a cookie recipe to make for Christmas. He’s been reading about baking with monk fruit and almond flour, but can’t find a cookie recipe! Thank you.
Katrin Nürnberger
Hi Reed, I have lots of great sugar free cookie recipes that are designed for baking. Try these keto sugar cookies or my keto ginger snaps or these sugar free Christmas cookies.

Allergic to almonds so subbed in pecan meal.
Also no choc so threw in cacoa powder, used allulose with choc flav stevia drops. Made only a half batch to experiment and just as well as hubby ate most of them and asked for more!
Carly
So delicious! I didn’t have cream so I use Marscapone instead - still turned out amazing, will definitely make again

Super fast, simple and delicious! Thank you for sharing. Another plus with your recipes is that the servings are always correct. I tried with others and it says "serves 8" and I found myself with 12 muffins without enough molds to bake. No big deal but it is good to know what I am starting with and what I am getting as a result. I find your data always accurate.
I also did the sugar free chocolate chips (your recipe) and used those here what a delicious combo. Tks v.m.
