These crispy keto browned butter chocolate chip cookies made with almond flour offer a rich, nutty flavor and perfect crispy edges without the carb guilt. Quick and easy to make, they are a satisfying low-carb treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) superfine almond flour
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated erythritol
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (130g) sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s brand)

Instructions

  1. Place ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts, foams, and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (240g) almond flour, ¾ cup (150g) granulated erythritol, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Slowly pour in the browned butter, stirring constantly to combine.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until uniform dough forms. Fold in ¾ cup (130g) sugar-free chocolate chips. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold together.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and crisp but centers remain slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to crisp fully.

Notes

Use superfine almond flour for best texture. Chill dough for 15 minutes before baking to reduce spreading for thicker cookies. Watch butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack to lock in crispiness. For dairy-free version, use browned coconut oil and flax egg.
