The almond flour is perfect for a keto diet in its nutrient make-up: it is low in carbs and high in protein and healthy fat. Plus, it’s gluten-free!

You might find yourself wondering whether buying almond flour or almond meal makes a difference in this recipe when out at the store. For a soft, uniform consistency and a dense, non-crumbly texture, which is exactly what is wanted in cookies or other baked goods, you want to buy blanched (skinned) almond flour.

What can I substitute for almond flour?

If you are allergic to almonds, no worries! Ground sunflower seed meal is a perfect allergy-friendly swap.

The chocolate chips in these low carb cookies are sugar-free. By cutting sugar out of the equation, you are cutting the guilt and unhealthy effects that come with it as well.

Besides, these sugar-free chocolate chips taste nearly just as good! My personal favorite are Lily’s chocolate chips and they’re available on Amazon, but other sugar-free alternatives can be found at your local store as well.

How to store chocolate chip cookies?

Chocolate chip cookies should be frozen for long-term storage. If you want to keep the cookies fresh for only about a week, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container. Plastic wrap should be used to separate cookies layered on top of each other. A crafty way to preserve the softness of your cookies is to put a slice of bread in the airtight container for the cookies to absorb its moisture.
