Why wait for cookies to bake when you can indulge in keto cookie dough instead? These cookie dough bombs are packed with chocolate chips and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!
I love a freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes, all I really want is the dough. That’s the perfect time to whip up keto cookie dough bites!
With 7.8 grams of fat, 88 calories, and 1.2 net carbs per bite, these cookie dough bites are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Plus, they’re so easy to make. Just mix, roll, chill in the refrigerator for about half an hour, and enjoy.
How to make keto cookie dough
Ready to see how quick and easy it is to whip up these delicious little treats?
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the butter, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well-combined.
Step 2: Add the almond flour, Stevia, protein powder, and salt, then mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, form 14 cookie dough balls.
Step 4: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to set.
That’s it! Your little bites of chocolate chip goodness are ready to enjoy.
Variations for your cookie dough
Want to have a little fun with your cookie dough bites? There are so many ways to play around with this recipe!
If you love chocolate and peanut butter, try using chocolate-flavored protein powder and sugar-free peanut butter chips. Or, try using sugar-free white chocolate chips and topping with sugar-free sprinkles for adorable little cake bites.
Chopped nuts are another great option. I recommend lightly toasting pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts before adding them to the batter. Throw in some white chocolate chips with your macadamia nuts for a classic flavor combination.
Cookie dough bites are supposed to be fun, so go ahead and get creative with your add-ins! Just be sure to choose low-carb options to keep these little bites keto friendly.
Storage
Is there anything better than having healthy, low-carb, gluten-free cookie dough waiting for you in the refrigerator? It might brighten your whole week!
You can store your cookie dough balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. However, I will be very impressed if they last that long.

I am sold on Choc Zero. All products are sugar free and NO ERYTHITOL. Hooray, they use monk fruit to sweeten and have a wide range of products. My favorites are the caramels and the Rhea candy bars.
I get them online and try to buy when they are on sale.

My husband has been recently diagnosed with diabetes. I need to have more protein in his diet. I noticed the protein powder in the cookie recipe. What is a good quality protein powder to use? Thank you!

I like the Med-Rx brand but generally, I go for whey protein that has about 20 grams of protein per scoop (1 oz), and less than 5 grams of carbs
