I've been meaning to update this recipe for awhile. The original is still delicious, this recipe is just a bit simpler with a few less carbs per batch and quite a bit more protein. Since it is the Holiday season I opted to try to add one of my newest delicious candy recipes to the cookies, my keto Heath Bars. I tried it and it worked, one of my favorite flavors for the holidays! Check out the video here- https://youtu.be/uTyWGpl2Ztc if you want to add some delicious toffee chips to these chocolate chip cookies!


Whipping the butter and sweetener together for a long while until the sweetener is dissolved and it is very pale and fluffy helps with the cooling effect of the erythritol and the graininess you can sometimes have with erythritol. You can add as little as 1/4 Cup erythritol sweetener and sweeten more with powdered or liquid stevia. I don't suggest any allulose for cookies as it can make the cookie so soft or burn if you cook long enough to make it solid.
The dry ingredients are my usual mix of whey protein and coconut flour but I add a bit of gelatin to give a little chew to the cookie. You can replace coconut flour with 3x the amount of almond flour for the coconut. I've also had success replacing coconut flour with bamboo fiber but I have not tried it in my cookie recipes yet. I used xanthan gum also for a little stiffness to the cookie as a gluten replacement. You don't absolutely need the gelatin but it definitely makes it a bit chewier.
The add ins are up to you, just use a favorite keto chocolate chip or chopped toffee. I'm not a fan of how white chocolate chips bake up in the cookies. But different brands do act differently when baked.

Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (Toffee Chip)
224g/8oz./16 Tbs. Salted Butter (softened)
96g/1/2 Cup Golden Erythritol Sweetener (or any erythritol sweetener you prefer, can use 1/4 Cup- 1 Cup)
1/2 tsp. Powdered Stevia (Optional, if you had more of a sweet tooth)
1 Egg (room temp)
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
80g/1 Cup Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate (Isopure is my preferred brand, 1 scoop)
30g/1/4 Cup Coconut flour
10g/1 Tbs. Unflavored gelatin
1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt (if using unsalted butter)
6-8 oz. Keto chocolate chips or 4oz. Chopped Keto English Toffee & 2oz. Keto Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
Pull out 1 Egg to come to room temperature, then whip the butter in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer for 2 minutes if it isn't completely soft
Whip the sweetener and butter together for 8 minutes, scrapping down several times in the 8 minutes until almost white and super fluffy
While butter and sweetener are whipping, weigh, sift and mix up the dry ingredients and measure out the vanilla extract and your chocolate chips (Chop the Heath Bars into fine chunks if using)
Once butter and sweetener are fluffy, preheat oven to 350 degrees then whip in the vanilla extract and one room temperature egg until fully combined, scrap and whip
Add in the dry ingredients, scraping down and making sure everything is combined
Once all dry ingredients are combined well, take bowl off the mixer and clean off the whip and mix well by hand then add in the chips and mix well
On a parchment lined baking sheet scoop with a small scoop or about a tablespoon of dough (20g), 2 inches apart onto the baking sheet or medium scoop at 40g for larger cookies
Flatten the dough balls slightly and bake for 8-11 Minutes, rotating half way through, pull out when the tops are just starting to get some color, I got 33 small cookies or 16 large
You can scoop, flatten and freeze the dough, just pull out, place on parchment lined baking sheet to defrost at room temperature. Once mostly defrosted preheat oven to 350 and bake, you may need to bake a minute or two longer.
