Just because you\’re on a ketogenic diet doesn\’t mean you can\’t have a treat. And yes, that incorporates low carb keto cookies—even chocolate cookies. It just requires a few creative alternatives to make a baked item that still complies with the diet.
Cookies use major two carb sources- flour and sugar but there are keto-friendly substitutes for both. Low carb flour alternatives include almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and ground flax seeds. Most are available at large supermarkets. Sugar substitutes like swerve, erythritol are perfect choices for baking.
