How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
-
Cream the Butter & Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, whip the softened butter and cream cheese together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth, fluffy, and well combined. This step is key for a creamy, authentic cookie-dough texture. -
Add Sweetener & Vanilla
Add the powdered keto sweetener and vanilla extract. Beat again for 20–30 seconds until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. -
Mix in Almond Flour & Salt
Add almond flour in two additions, mixing well between each. Add the pinch of salt. Continue mixing until the dough thickens and resembles classic cookie dough. -
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Using a spatula, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips so they’re evenly distributed. -
Shape the Bites
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment paper or roll into small balls and place in a container. -
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes until firm and biteable.
