Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

The most popular cookie is probably the most difficult to adjust for a low carb diet. The sweeteners you use can make or break a recipe so I recommend sticking to the ones I have suggested. In this recipe I use wheat protein isolate which may or may not fit into your definition of what you consider keto friendly. I have been in ketosis for over a year and a half and am able to expand my food list and carb intake somewhat. I also burn a lot of calories running and working with a kinesiologist, primarily working on strength and balance through resistance training. I believe that almost any food can be keto friendly as long as you respect your daily carb intake.
So without further ado, here is my version of the Chocolate Chip Cookie. It is important to let cookies cool completely before eating as they firm up while cooling.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe

1 Cup Sukrin Gold
3/4 Cup Truvia (the little pot which is a mixture of erythritol and Stevia leaf)
1 pound butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
2.5 Cups almond flour
1/2 Cup Wheat protein isolate 8000
1/2 Cup oat fibre 500
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 bag sugar free chocolate chips (Lily's brand)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients except for chocolate.
Add dry ingredients to wet and beat until well blended.
Fold in chocolate.
I use insulated cookie sheets and a large cookie scoop.
Scoop 9 large balls onto an insulated cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until outer rim is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Remove to cooling rack and cool completely.
Cookies will be a little spongy until cooled and then become crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy inside.
Recipe makes 40 large cookies.
Each cookie is approximately 100 calories and 1.5 net carbs after subtracting fibre and sugar alcohols.
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
