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. Those 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 sugar cookies! These chocolate sugar 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

To make the low-carb, sugar-free chocolate sugar cookie recipe, you’ll need:

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

How to Make Keto Chocolate Sugar Cookies

These keto-friendly cookies can be made in just a few simple steps! Here’s an overview of the baking process:

Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and monkfruit sweetener until well blended. Add the egg, sour cream and vanilla extract.
While the mixer is on low, add the flour mixture until well combined. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill overnight.
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.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely.

Do You Have to Chill the Cookie Dough?

Yes! 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.

How to Store Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Keep the cookies (with or without toppings) in an airtight container on your counter. They’ll last up to four days.

Can the Keto Cookies Be Frozen?

Yes! I recommend freezing the cookies plain (i.e. without the optional toppings). Seal them in a freezer bag for up to three months.

When ready to eat, thaw on the counter.

Tips for Making Low-Carb, Sugar-Free Cookies

Note that you’ll need to use almond flour, not almond meal to make the low-carb sugar cookies.
Make sure your cocoa powder is unsweetened as that would affect the flavor of the cookies and increase the net carb count.
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.
Remove the cookies from the oven while they are still slightly soft in the center, they will finish cooking as they cool.
