Description
These Keto Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies are soft, chewy, and totally irresistible! They are keto, low-carb, paleo, dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, vegetarian, refined-sugar-free, and only 1.6g net carbs per serving!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (135 mL) coconut oil, room temperature
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (96g) golden monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (56g) coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer, mix together coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined. (The mixture will appear lumpy.) Add golden monk fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- A little at a time, to same mixing bowl, add in coconut flour and mix with electric mixer.
- Roll dough into 10 evenly-sized balls. Lightly press down on each dough ball and place 5 cookies on each of the prepared baking sheets. (Note that the cookies will spread when baking so be sure to place them about 2-3 inches apart from one another.) Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt atop each cookie. (Remember that there is salt in the dough, so be careful to not add too much atop cookies.)
- One baking sheet at a time, bake cookies until you can insert and remove a toothpick into the center without any crumbs sticking, about 15-18 minutes. (Resist the urge to overcook them as they will firm up as they cool.)
- Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully lift cookies off of parchment paper and serve.

Jacqui says
how do you work out it is only 1.6g net carb per biscuit? I put it in a carb mananger app and that tells me 10g net carb per biscuit?
Sara Nelson says
This could be for a couple of reasons: you may be looking at the total carb amount or you used different ingredients than the ones linked in the recipe card. It could also be that the monk fruit sweetener isn’t pulling the correct total carbs and sugar alcohol within the app (4g total carbs, 4g sugar alcohol, 0g net carbs per serving), which would affect the net carbs per serving as well.
Nakisha says
Can I replace coconut flour for the almond flour, we have several allergic to nuts.
Thank!
realbalanced says
Hi, Nakisha! No, unfortunately, coconut flour cannot be subbed in for almond flour. I have many nut-free recipes on my site that I’d recommend taking a look at!
JZ says
Is 12.8g carbs per serving or total?
realbalanced says
Hi, JZ! 12.8g total carbs per cookie, 1.6g net carbs per cookie. My recipes are developed based on net carb content. Please note that total carbs and net carbs are different. To calculate net carbs, subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbs.
Scot D. says
Mine also turned out flat as a pancake, even though I followed the recipe to a T. I also ended up putting them in cupcake cups, which definitely helped. Despite this, the batter and flavor are excellent. I will use the broken bits from the first few flat-broken ones to season my yogurt :).
realbalanced says
Thank you for your feedback, Scot! I love the idea of adding the cookie pieces to yogurt! YUM!
Brittany Allen says
This is a great tasting recipe. My first batch was super flat, so the second I put in a mini muffin pan. I think my dough was too smooshy from the warm coconut oil. My kids didn’t know they were made with fake sugar and almond flour and ate them all right away. This is a great recipe and I can think of so many ways to use this to make muffins, a cake, adding PB powder, chocolate chips, ice cream…. solid recipe.

So glad you enjoyed, Brittany! Thanks so much for your feedback! And, rest assured, monk fruit sweetener is natural and not fake whatsoever! 🙂
Stacey Highsmith says
Looks delicious! Can you sub coconut sugar for the monk fruit sweetener?
Thank you!!
realbalanced says
Hi, Stacey! Yes, you can sub in coconut sugar here! Just note that the carb content will increase significantly. Enjoy!
Stacey Highsmith says
Thanks so much! My 4 year old is very excited to make there! Will let you know how they turn out!!
realbalanced says
Please do!!
Gram says
Wow again YUMMMMMMMMMY
realbalanced says
so yummy! Thanks!
Linda says
Sounds delicious! I’m going to make these tonight.
Do you sprinkle the salt on top before they bake or after they come out of the oven?
realbalanced says
great question! I just updated the recipe to reflect the instructions on that! Add the sea salt prior to baking (after the dough is shaped into a cookie and placed on the baking sheet). Thanks, Linda! Enjoy!
