Keto Chocolate Sugar Cookies are soft and delicious, with a delicate cocoa flavour and only 0.5g carbs in each one.
They are almost like the Christmas version. Just as moreish. Slightly sweet. Perfect for dunking.
If, like me, you always have spare egg whites, this recipe may well become your go-to one. And remember, egg whites are at their best 2-3 days after cracking the shell open, so you don’t have to rush to use them.
How to Make Keto Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Start by creaming the softened butter with sweeteners. Then weigh and mix all dry ingredients and tip them into the creamed butter. Stir with a fork to incorporate everything homogeneously.
Weigh the egg white according to the recipe and discard the extra. Whip it to soft peaks and combine it with the dry mix, again using a fork.
At this point, it is best to wear food-safe disposable gloves to knead the mixture, as it will be very sticky.
Knead it briefly. Just enough to obtain a smooth dough. Then place it on a sheet of cling film, put another on top and flatten with a rolling pin to about 1cm height. Freeze the dough for 10 minutes.
Dust some flour over a silicone pastry mat, and roll out the dough a bit more, to about 1/2 cm in height. Dust the top of the dough as well, and use cling film over it so it doesn’t stick to your rolling pin.
Now simply cut out your shapes and space them out on your lined baking rack. Sliding a flexible spatula underneath helps lift them off the pastry mat. The recipe makes 24 x 2″ cookies.
And they’re ready for baking. 8 minutes later, take them out and let them cool.
Enjoy!

The sugar alcohols all upset my GI tract and most of your dessert recipes have erythritol. Can it be eliminated and just use stevia? I’m so anxious to try so many of your recipes!
Hi Peggy,
yes, sugar alcohols can have an unpleasant gut effect in some individuals.
That’s why my recipes use the least amount of erythritol (or allulose – depending on what I’m baking since they react differently), plus a little bit of pure stevia to add sweetness.
You can’t just use pure stevia because a) it will turn your bakes bitter, b) erythritol adds bulk to mixes, not just sweetness, so removing it completely would mean increasing other dry ingredients (and therefore carbs, calories, etc.).
Everyone has a personal tolerance level to sugar alcohols, so maybe try using less erythritol and test it out.
If instead you decide to swap erythritol for allulose (which generally doesn’t cause intestinal gas), bear in mind that it has a lower burning temperature (so bake at lower temperatures for longer), and is moisture-retentive, so you will end up with soft bakes.
