One thing I miss on a low carb diet is cookies. I love cookies! And while I have a few low carb cookie recipes, sometimes I don’t want to use almond flour. Too many nuts can give me a headache. So when I came across a few recipes on Pinterest for cream cheese cookies I thought I’d give it a try.

I am SO psyched about this keto snack recipe. These chocolate keto brownie cookies are REALLY good to me! They are not too pretty but they are tasty and I have already made 2 batches.

Ideas for savory keto snacks

Some of the easiest are just simple foods like eggs, avocados, cheese or meats. However I like to snack on veggies and lots of dip. Use low carb vegetables (see chart in this post) and high fat dips.

Ideas for sweet keto snacks

For sweet keto snacks try berries such as strawberry, raspberries or blackberries with heavy whipping cream. I like very dark chocolate or these cookies! Here’s a great visual guide from the Diet Doctor.

Keto cocoa powder & sugar free chips

First off I want to tell you about two important ingredients that make this recipe: good cocoa powder and Lily’s stevia sweetened mini chocolate chips. You can find them here on my Amazon store.

I am now hooked on these two brands of cocoa powder. Both Guittard and Divine brands are very smooth and rich with roughly 1 net carb per 2 tablespoons. The cocoa powder I get at Aldi on the other hand has 4g net carbs per 2 tablespoons and it taste more bitter to me. I bought both of these from Amazon and have been making my own hot chocolate with them (recipe here).

Above you can see the Lily’s chocolate chips I used. They are good and have no artificial taste to me. However they are not overly sweet. For roughly 3 tablespoons (120 mini chips) they only have 4g net carbs. I sometimes eat these as a snack too. Their sweetness comes mainly from erythritol and stevia.

UPDATE: In the past I used Lily’s chocolate chips but I now use ChocZero chocolate chips. Both are good ChocZero has 1g less carbs and I had them on hand. Either will work and they both taste good.

Let’s make some keto brownie cookies!

To make the cookie batter, cream the Swerve sweetener and cream cheese. Then add in the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips.

Then fold in the sugar free chocolate chips. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat then add a spoonful of the batter. It is very sticky so you will have to shape your cookie with your hands because they don’t rise or spread much.

TIP: Take a piece of wax paper and generously spray cookie oil. Place over the cookie batter and press down to make a flat cookie. Then you can use your fingers to smooth the edges if you wish.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes until firm to the touch. You don’t want to overcook them or they will be dry.

Recipe Tips and Notes

I really like using the Guittard or Divine cocoa powders because they are less bitter and have less carbs than your usual cocoa powder.
Also the ChocZero chocolate chips or Lily’s chocolate chips are necessary to add sweetness but with out many carbs. You could also substitute your favorite low carb chocolate bar. Just chop it into chip size pieces.
The cookie batter does not rise nor spread so you have to use your hands to shape them. I used a piece of wax paper heavily sprayed with cookie spray and used that to press down and flatten the cookie. Then I used my fingers to shape the edges.
These are not overly sweet so if you want them to be sweeter you can add a bit more Swerve or stevia.
The texture is like if a brownie and a cookie had a baby. They are not crunchy at all which is fine with me.
You want to bake them until they are firm but not overcook them or they will be dry.
This is a very simple recipe and you can add other mix-ins like nuts or coconut.

How to store these keto cookies

You can keep these cookies in a sealed container or baggie and leave them out. However I like to freeze them and eat one or two for keto dessert or snack.

Chocolate Keto Brownie Cookies

Yield: 15

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

These chocolate brownie keto cookies are so easy to make and will definitely satisfy your chocolate cravings. Soft and chewy, these very chocolatey keto cookies only require a few ingredients and have 1.2g net carbs per cookie!

Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup Swerve confectioners sweetener
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons cocoa powder* (I recommend Guittards or Divine)
1/3 cup ChocZero or Lilys low carb chocolate chips*
1/4 teaspoon SweetLeaf vanilla liquid stevia

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Using a hand mixer, cream the Swerve sweetener and cream cheese. When nice and creamy add in the baking powder, stevia, cocoa powder and egg.
Mix well until a dough forms. Add the chocolate chips and mix with a spoon to incorporate.
Spoon out the cookies on the cookie sheet. The dough is very sticky. Flatten the cookie dough with your fingers. Or take a piece of wax paper and spray it generously with cooking spray. Then place it on the cookies and flatten them with your hand. That way you won't get your hands messy.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. You want the cookies to be firm to the touch but not too firm.
Take out of the oven and let cool completely before eating. Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer.
*Note* I used Guittard or Divine cocoa rouge powder. It's a better brand of cocoa powder and has less carbs. You can use regular cocoa powder but it might increase the carbs.
For the chocolate chips I used low carb ChocZero or Lily's dark chocolate stevia sweetened mini chips.
