Satisfy your sweet tooth with these Keto Chocolate Sugar Cookies! These delightful low carb chocolate cookies are about 2 net carbs each, or around 3 net carbs with the toppings included!

I recently shared my favorite Keto Sugar Cookie recipe with my Maebell readers. These cookies are a dead ringer for those classic Lofthouse sugar cookies that are soft and chewy. They are delicious as is, but ultra decadent with a keto friendly frosting on top! 

Today I’m sharing a chocolate version of those same, delicious low carb cookies! These cookies are naturally gluten free because they use an almond and coconut flour blend. The sweetener is a keto friendly monkfruit sweetener, but you can also use Swerve if you prefer. 

Ingredients for Keto Sugar Cookies

• Almond flour
• Coconut Flour
• Cocoa Powder
• Baking Soda
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Granular Monkfruit Sweetener
• Butter
• Egg
• Sour Cream
• Vanilla Extract

While the toppings for the sugar cookies are completely optional I dipped mine in melted sugar free chocolate, and sprinkled chopped chocolate on top. However, you could certainly frost these, or sprinkle with confectioners monkfruit sweetener if you wish. 

How to make Low Carb Chocolate Sugar Cookies

These cookies can be made in just a few simple steps.

1. Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and monkfruit sweetener until well blended. Add the egg, sour cream and vanilla extract.
3. While the mixer is on low, add the flour mixture until well combined. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill overnight.
4. Scoop the dough using a 1 inch cookie scoop and bake on a silicone lined baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 9-11 minutes, remove the cookies from the oven while they are still slightly soft in the center, they will finish cooking as they cool. 
5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely. 

Why do you have to chill sugar cookie dough?

Chilling the dough is absolutely essential. The cookies have the perfect texture when they have been chilled overnight. However, it is possible to bake these cookies after the dough as chilled as little as two hours.

Cookie dough is chilled to solidify the fat in the dough, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much. If you do not chill the dough, or place the dough on an already warm baking pan it will result in a thin cookie that has spread too much.
