Low carb cookies made with a combination of Swerve Sweeteners. Nice and moist on the inside and crispier on the outside for a perfect treat!
As you may know, we have been dabbling in the Keto Diet. Basically, for us, this means eating lower carbs. We don’t go crazy or anything—we just try to avoid things with a billion carbs in them. Things like cookies.
The average Toll House chocolate chip cookie has about 12-14 carbs. It may not seem like that much to some but if you can eat more than a few—you’re in trouble. Especially, considering even healthy things like vegetables have carbs in them.
FYI, most people on Keto try to eat less than 50g of carbs a day 😉
SO I decided to try my hand at some Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies to keep my sweet tooth in check. These guys have a guestimated amount of 1-3 carbs per cookie which isn’t too bad at all!
To make these Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies, I lessened the carbs by using alternative flours and sugars like Swerve.
A Little About Swerve
Swerve is a sugar replacement that has low calories, low carbs (3-4 per serving), and measures just like sugar. It is made from fruits and starchy root vegetables.
The carbohydrates in Swerve come from the erythritol and oligosaccharides. Erythritol is somewhat of an anomaly in the carbohydrate world, since it only contributes 0.2 calories per gram. Erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine and then 90% is eliminated by the body, so it’s never metabolized. Basically, we don’t absorb the ingredients in Swerve, so it can’t contribute a significant amount of calories.
It’s very natural—with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors, and is even non-glycemic and non-GMO.
Tips for Making Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
Using an erythritol sugar like Swerve is a must! In my experimentation, I found Swerve to have a better overall texture and taste in baked goods than Sucralose. With Sucralose, my cookies turned out drier and denser.
However, using Brown Swerve gives the cookies better coloring (cookies baked with sugar substitutes don’t brown well) AND texture. My Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies are nice and moist on the inside and crispier on the outside.
Do not use a silicone baking mat. It is already hard enough for these cookies to spread, a mat will make it non-existent and increase the baking time.
Trust me—I’ve done it.
To check if the Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies are done, take a peek at the bottoms of the cookies. If they are golden, take them out and start cooling even if the tops are still a little pale.
Don’t worry—they will continue cooking and be amazing!

“Every day is another chance to get stronger, to eat better, to live healthier, and to be the best version of you.”
These look really tasty! I’ve never heard of Swerve but it sounds promising. The cookies look great.
I’m loving it for baked goods
These cookies look so delicious! I will have to try this recipe. I have never heard of Swerve, or seen it at the grocery store, but it seems like a good sugar alternative. I have been using Splenda Naturals with Stevia for years and it’s the only one I have found so far, that I can tolerate the taste of. So I will definitely try to find the Swerve next time I go shopping. Thanks for this recipe!
I like Splenda too but Swerve worked great in these cookies
These sound amazing! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I’m still eating them as of now and they are still awesome ?
I’ve been hearing a lot about Keto dieting. I know a few people following it. This recipe looks interesting.
It tastes amazing too ?
These sound good.. I am not trying to loose weight at all. I weigh 95 pounds but I know I would love these cookies!
You’re a tiny little thing but I don’t weigh too much more. Well probably 15 lbs more
These look amazing i will have to give the recipe a try soon. This would be the first Keto recipe i have tried.
You definitely should! These cookies are a delicious guilt-free snack for you even if you don’t follow the keto diet.
Yay! I’m excited for you to give them a try. These cookies are very tasty!
These look delicious! I definitely want to lose weight this year. I’ve got to make some huge lifestyle changes.
What’s on your agenda?
These cookies look fab! As much as I’d love to weigh less, I’m no longer trying to lose weight – I’ve realised that it’s almost impossible to keep the weight off long term, and at this point I’d rather just enjoy life! 😀
Good for you! What a wonderful outlook to take! These cookies are great though and it’s nice to have a guilt-free treat once in a while.
I keep telling myself every day that I need to lose weight and get healthy. This keto lifestyle sounds interesting.
Keto is all the rage right now, and for good reason! It is helping a lot of people!
How do these taste? I hate the taste of artificial sweetners!
I really love them! They taste great and I don’t really taste anything different about the sweetener.
I would love to lose 5-10 pounds this year, but not sure if it will happen. These cookies would be a good start towards weight loss!
Good luck with your weight loss goals! You can do it! It’s nice to have treats like this to enjoy without the guilt.
(Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies) I do like this recipe for the cookies, and now I know a little bit more about all this keto buisness too.
These cookies are delicious! I find it easy to stick to a healthy eating plan when you are able to indulge in cookies!
Ok! first I wouldn’t have thought to see cookies with Keto, because I have been told that keto is a really good way to help you lose weight . Those cookies do look delicious!! and I am tempted on making a batch but have never heard of swerve before.
@tisonlyme143
Yep! You can have cookies on keto! I find that it helps to follow the diet when you can still enjoy sweets. Swerve is a keto friendly sweetener, you can find it at online retailers.
These cookies look amazing. I love the healthier ingredients and that they are Keto. I will need to try Swerve. I haven’t seen it in stores, but I will look for it.
These cookies are super tasty, I think you will love them. I know you can order Swerve from Amazon and other online retailers.
I am definitely trying to lose weight this year and if I could eat these cookies that would really help keep my sweet tooth in check. Gonna have to give these a try.
It’s so hard to cut out sweets cold turkey, so these cookies are a great alternative so you don’t have to! They are so tasty!
Yes, I’m actively trying to lose weight now. I would love to lose 30 lbs.
I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss goals! Have you decided to follow a keto diet?
I had been skinny my whole life and now I’m way overweight. I avoid visiting and attending events with pass school mates and friends to avoid the embarrassment. I do hope to lose some weight this year.
I’m so sorry to hear that you are having a time. The keto diet has been making big waves in the weight loss world and these cookies are a tasty, keto treat! Good luck!
I am going to try and lose weight this year. My main problem is I love eating sweets of a night time.
Oh my goodness, sweets at night is a real weakness for lots of us, so don’t feel bad. 🙂 I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey!
Never tried making keto recipes before. I love chocolate chip
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite and this keto version is delicious! While some keto recipes take some getting used to with different flours, etc. many keto recipes are pretty easy to make. 🙂
I really need to lose about 20 pounds. They started a weight loss competition at work. These products sound great. I will check out this diet more and also give these products a try. Thank you so much for sharing
The keto diet is hot hot hot right now and these cookies are a great diet treat! I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey and in your work competition! 🙂
(Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies) The next time that I make chocolate chip cookies I am going to try this recipe out. I have to start cutting down on real sugar.
Cutting down sugar is great for many things, going keto isn’t the only reason. Even those who aren’t full keto can appreciate how yummy these cookies are!
Those cookies look great! I’m definitely going to try making them!
They are so good! Please let us know how they turn out!
Those look delicious! I’m not really actively trying to lose weight this year but I am trying to make healthier food choices and improve my diet.
These are so good! No need to be full keto to enjoy these cookies. They are great for a gluten-free diet, or if you are simply trying to cut down on your sugar.
I really don’t need to lose weight that much but it is good to check up on our weight once in a while. ??
I agree! It is definitely good to check up on our weight once in a while, as well as other aspects of our health.
I would love to lose weight during this New Year. It’s not necessarily a “goal”, but if it happens, I would be excited. 🙂
It’s great to look toward making improvements, while not putting a hard goal on yourself. Some people find it easier to be successful this way. Good luck!
It is my goal every year to try and lose more weight. I am a diabetic and my doctor is always after me to get some of my weight off.
I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss goals! I know that many diabetics choose to follow a keto diet. I hope you find success with it! 🙂
Sure it’s the goal of the best I think less sugary soda helps and making time to get enough exercise,as well as aerobics. Tai chi is making a comeback
Drinking less sugary soda has helped my husband lose a good chunk of weight!
Cookies look and sound absolutely delicious but is for healthy weight loss
They are amazing, Molly! At least for keto cookies lol.
theres so many great products here.
Swerve is amazing for baking. You should try it, Donna!
i am going o try to lose weight this year. i had lost about 25 lbs last year but have successfully gained them back. 🙁
Awe, that stinks! I know you can lose it again, though. I have faith 🙂
Yes, I will. I am working to lose weight in the new year.
How much are you wanting to lose?
I’m underweight so I’m not going to try to lose weight in the new year. I’m also not going to try to gain weight!
Sounds like you are at the perfect weight
these cookies look good! Im not trying to lose weight. Id like to build muscle though!
I’d like to tone up too
I would like to lose some weight. Im at the age that they say we start to gain 10lbs a year I don’t know. Its hard for me to exercise as I am 71 years old now and have arthritis in my knees really bad. So I basically try to cut down on eating high calorie foods. And I don’t have money to buy expense good food on my income . So sort stuck on this one.
When my grandfather (92 years old) was in a rehab they used a recumbent elliptical trainer for physical therapy. He loved it so he bought one. It’s something like this (aff link) https://amzn.to/2FxqyoO. It would help you exercise but be easy on your body.
I guess I could stand to lose about 5 lbs. I’m not really overweight but my clothes would look nicer if I did.
Sounds like you are at a good weight. I’m kind of like that too. Just trying to maintain it and hopefully tone up
I really need to lose weight. I wish I could lose maybe 40 to 50 pounds.
What are you doing to try to lose weight?
These look delicious! I need to try it!
You will love them Michael
My goal is to lose 30 pounds but I will be going of a few cruises this year which will be difficult to pass up the good food. So it will be a challenge to say the least. And who wants to eat healthy on a cruise? I don’t.
Cruises are so much fun! I hope to go on another one soon it’s been way too long. Those weeks should definitely be cheat weeks lol ?
As someone who has multiple auto immune diseases, weight loss is difficult if not impossible unless the stars align and medication and blood work are optimal. I started following a keto-ish diet in early December and have lost 22 pounds so far so we’re getting there with the stars aligning. I do plan on going full-on keto, at least for about 8 weeks to see how I do, for the most part people with one of the conditions I have should not do it for long or at all due to it causing additional health issues. However, I am going to take that chance. My son is graduating from basic training in March and I don’t want to embarrass him when we fly out to see him.
Congrats on losing 22 pounds! That’s so awesome. I’m sure you won’t embarrass your son. He loves you!
I am always trying to lose weight. I hope to do better this year.
How much are you trying to lose?
My 2019 resolution is to lose weight. The Keto Diet sounds like I could stick to it. This cookie recipe is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
How much weight do you want to lose?
I have no plans to lose weight, but I would like to start a exercise regiment. Honestly the thing that has helped me keep weight off is using Splenda in my ice tea.
I use Splenda in my tea and coffee too
No, not trying to lose weight. I am actually the right weight for my height. Still thin after all these years but I really don’t eat much so that is probably why.
That’s good you are at your ideal weight! It’s what everyone wants
I am not trying to lose weight, but I do work to maintain my weight. I recently learned of the Keto diet. I plan to try the chocolate chip cookie recipe.
What steps do you take to maintain your weight?
Yes, I’m already on a good start I have not had any pop since last yr and it’s really hard as I love pop. plus my son has some bottles lying around on the floor and I look at it and head to the fridge and get me a water. So far so good.
Sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep it up!
YES I am taking physical rehab for breathing problems and also have arthritis. Hopefully they will get me on track to lose
I’ve have never heard of this product before and it sounds like it’s worth giving it a try. I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I’m always thinking about loosing weight. I don’t diet anymore, I just try and watch how much I eat.
Do you actually need to lose weight?
Not trying to , but we did purchase a double stroller for our 2 toddlers so I can start walking 4 miles every morning again. I started feeling so much better& slimming down when i did that& the beach body “portion control”
Sounds like you are doing a great job Nicole. I think everything you’re doing is perfect for losing weight
Trying to lose weight this year by limiting carbs and making sure to eat vegetables at each meal.
That sounds like a good start
I plan to lose weight in the new year and get healthier. I plan to eat better, excersize, and go to my doctor appointments
How much weight do you need to lose?
These cookies look so yummy. I will try to lose weight this year for sure.
Thanks Jodi! How are you planning to lose weight?
I would like to lose weight this year. It is becoming more and more difficult to lose weight as I age. I did step on the scale last night and noticed that I’ve lost around 5 pounds since last month. It felt nice to see the scale go down!
Good job on losing some weight!
I’m not planning to lose weight. However, I might still try the recipe.
Please do! They are good Keto cookies 🙂
I would like to lose weight but I don’t know if I will really be trying except through exercise.
Exercise is always a great way to lose weight!
I do plan to lose weight this year. I’m going to try watching what I eat and excersizing more
Do you need to lose a lot of weight?
I am currently trying to GAIN weight. I lost quite a bit this summer when my appetite left for vacation.
Have you tried Ensure or some other protein drink? They help my grandpa gain weight.
I honestly don’t think I’m going to loose weight this year. But, I mean, these Keto Cookies look good!
Are you happy with your current weight? If so, that’s great! I like these cookies even if I’m not trying to lose weight. Lower carbs are always better I think unless you need to gain weight.
I would like to lose 10 to 15 pounds this year. My blood pressure was up for a bit and I think losing weight would help.
You can do it, Emily! That probably would help your blood pressure some. Are you on meds for it?
I’ve lost over 100 pounds since last February, so I’d like to continue that this year. I’m really trying to live healthier.
Wow, that’s awesome!! You are doing an amazing job. Keep it up. It sounds like you are on a great path.
Yummm! I DO want to lose weight this year. I have started to cut down on desserts.
I love desserts too but at least I feel a little less guilty when I eat these keto cookies lol
I have a friend who does the keto diet and she’s lost 100lbs over the past yr!! I don’t believe she uses ANY sweeteners though, but I’ll still pass this recipe on to her. Thanks.
Wow, your friend has done an amazing job! She’s doing something right.
I would like to try to lose weight by cutting down on sweets. I would also like to try to walk more and get more exercise in.
I really need to make time for more exercise too. It’s so hard though.
I lost 40 lbs last year and want to continue in the new year. These would be good and not a lot of sugars/carbs. Thanks for sharing.
Great job, Karen! 40 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. Keep it up!
My metabolism is good, so I’ve never had to lose weight. I do try to keep myself in good health.
Lucky ducky! My metabolism has tanked since I’ve gotten older. I miss being a teen lol.
Looks yummy! I’m trying to lose between 10-15lbs. I have vacations coming up and I want to look fab in my new swimsuits.
Don’t we all. I hate swimsuits, though. Even when I was a teen and had nothing to worry about lol. You can do it!
No I am pretty much at my ideal weight for my height. I gave up sugar some years ago and the pounds came right off and have not gained any back.
Great job sweetie! Sweets would be a hard one for me to completely give up.
I lost about 50 pounds so far but stalled right before Christmas. Perhaps if I make these as a reward for getting back to the gym, I’ll lose some more?
Great job! 50 pounds is an awesome start. These cookies would make a great treat!
I’m giving it my all to loose weight and get back inshape
How much are you wanting to lose?
I actually have been losing weight. I started watching what I eat & exercising since late December. It’s been working & hopefully I can keep it up!
You can totally keep it up!
These look so delicious! I’ve been thinking about Keto diet, but thought I’d have to give up my sweets.
Just like with any diet there’s always a workaround for sweets.
I have several friends doing the Keto thing. I’ll try this out on them. The cookies definitely look delicious.
These cookies are the perfect treat on this diet
These look really tasty! I’ve never heard of Swerve but it sounds promising. The cookies look great.
It’s a great no-calorie sweetener to use in baking and all your keto needs
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Literally the words out of my husband’s mouth once taking a bite…. “Why have you done this to us?!”…before he found out they’re keto 😉
Personally I had one about 10 minutes out of the oven and it was hard not to have about 6. I have YET to find a keto cookie recipe that ACTUALLY compares to a regular cookie…you’ve done it. BRAVO!……as an ex professional baker I credit the ‘real’ cookie flavor to all the butter AND the golden swerve (I used golden/regular monkfruit but they turned out fine). Chocolate chip cookies never taste the same with just white sugar.
A few adjustments I had to make-I increased the temp for the last tray that went in to 375-my cookies were really small, I made a double batch and had about 44 cookies. I also had to add extra time -12 minutes at 375 vs 14 minutes at 350, but I also have a gas oven, not sure if that affected it. Other than that, I can’t say enough about this awesome recipe. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! It can be hard to find a decent keto cookie but my kids even liked these and they are super picky.
I’ve been hearing a lot about Keto dieting. I know a few people following it. This recipe looks interesting.
The keto diet is really popular and these cookies are a treat
