Keto Cashew Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Keto Cashew Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe + Video – Crispy edges with soft centers. Less than 5 carbs! Paleo, low carb, gluten free, grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free, clean eating, real food.
It’s December! Let’s make some cookies!
But, let’s keep it healthy. These keto cashew butter chocolate chip cookies are just what you need. They’re grain free and refined sugar free!
Ingredients in Keto Cashew Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies have just 6 ingredients: cashew butter, monk fruit (could also use coconut sugar for paleo!), 1 egg, baking soda, vanilla chocolate.
No flour or butter needed! The cashew butter covers both of those, but keeps it keto!
Keto Chocolate
You have a few choices for keto friendly chocolate. Lily’s makes no sugar added dark chocolate chips and chocolate bars that are sweetened with stevia and low carb. (Not sponsored, just what I love!)
I love getting the whole bar and chopping it myself. The chocolate gets so much more melty that way! You could also use dark chocolate chips, which are lower in sugar.

Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 1 cup monk fruit (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (I like Lily’s or Enjoy Life brand)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º with 2 oven racks closest to the center. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl and stir to combine.
- Use a medium size cookie scoop to scoop out the dough (1.5 tablespoon balls), placing them on the baking sheet with enough room to spread out.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are puffed. (The cookies will flatten and “crackle” as they cool) Cool for 10 minutes and enjoy! Particularly good with my homemade almond milk.
- Cookies will keep in an airtight container for 1 week, or in the freezer for 6 months.

I am so glad you liked my cashew butter cookies Debbie! I think they may just be my new favorite! I so appreciate all of your very nice comments on my blog. It really means the world to me.
I made these a few weeks ago for Christmas parties and they were a keeper! I didn’t make any cashew butter due to time and used peanut butter instead and they turned out amazing! I can’t wait to try this with homemade cashew butter! These cookies are a keeper!
I also love the cashew butter chocolate chip cookies Olivia. I bet they would be fantastic with peanut butter or any nut butter for that matter. So glad you enjoyed them.
I don’t know what I did wrong. The flavor is so good, but they don’t hold on together at all. I can’t even get them off the baking sheet without them falling apart. Any tips? They are so good!
Shoot! I am so bummed the cookies aren’t holding together for you Amber. I have made them several times and have never had that issue. I have been trying to figure this out. Was your nut butter fully emulsified? If the nut butter had separated the cookie wouldn’t hold together. That’s all I could think of. I sure am sorry they didn’t hold together but I am glad they tasted good!
What can you sub for coconut sugar? Not fully Keto here
Thanks for the question on my cashew cookies Kristen. If you aren’t doing Keto, there are many substitutes for the coconut sugar. I tend to avoid processed sugar so I would use a natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave. If you are doing keto though, stick with coconut sugar or monk fruit. I sure hope this helps. Happy baking!
Good recipe, except it says 1 tsp baking soda in the recipe but in the video you say baking powder. I assume it’s baking powder which is what I used.

Thank you so much for catching that Cora! Actually the recipe is right, it is baking soda not baking powder. I think both would work fine actually. I sure hope your cookies turned out well. Thanks again!
These are absolutely delicious!!! Also, so so so easy!! Thank you!:)
