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 brownie keto cookies are REALLY good to me! They are not too pretty but they are tasty and I have already made 2 batches.

Ideas for 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.

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.

What kind of cocoa powder & chips to use

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.

Above you can see what these low carb cookies look like going in the oven and below what they look like coming out. They don’t spread or rise much.

Chocolate Brownie keto Cookies Recipe

So you want to use a mixer for this one. Put in your cream cheese that has been softened and creamy it with the Swerve sweetener. Then add the cocoa powder, baking powder and egg. beat until well mixed. Add in half of the chips and mix by hand.

Then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. The dough is very sticky so form the batter into little balls and then flatten with your fingers. Use the remaining chips to place on top of each cookie. Bake for 10n – 12 minutes and they should be firm to the touch.

I seriously love keto cookies recipe! For sweet keto snacks, they are the best for me. I store them in the refrigerator and eat one or two for dessert. They are very chocolatey and filling. As for the texture they are more like if a brownie and a cookie had a baby. They are not crunchy at all which is fine with me.

And for another delicious low carb sweet treat, try my friend Davinah’s keto cheesecake brownies. They are so good!
