No monk fruit sweetener? Try Swerve brown sugar replacement instead.
Can’t find sugar free marshmallows? Make these homemade keto marshmallows.
-you may also substitute keto-friendly/low carb nuts (like chopped almonds or walnuts) instead of marshmallows

Due to the taste and texture of almond flour, I do not recommend using coconut flour for this recipe.
How to make almond flour cookies without eggs

The best sugar free chocolate (that tastes like the real thing)
Instead of carb-loaded, regular chocolate chips, I use Lily’s brand because it has been recommended time and time again by the keto/ low carb community.
Is milk low in carbs?
No, milk does have quite a bit of carbohydrates, but there are some great low carb alternatives to cow’s milk.
These cookies are best served with low carb /keto alternative “dairy” options, such as:
- no sugar added almond milk
- a mix of 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream + almond milk (makes it creamier, like cow’s milk)
- Half and half
- Coconut milk
- Flax milk
What other ingredients can I add to these cookies?
- A pinch of sea salt with sugar free caramel drizzle
- 1 tsp instant coffee (brings out chocolate flavor)
- Dried, sugar free fruit, like blueberries
- Shaved coconut chips

If you have leftovers, use your cookie crumbles as:
- Yogurt/ pudding topping
- Breakfast cereal (if you allow them to harden sitting out)
- Make a cookie sandwich, with vanilla ice cream in the middle
- Create a cookie milkshake using sugar-free ice cream
Help! My cookies fall apart when I pick them up
Tips for keeping your cookies together:
- Try to resist the urge to pick up your cookies until they firm up and cool completely.
- baking a teensy bit longer or by
- add a tsp of arrowroot powder or 1/4 tsp. xanthin gum

- Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven, and top the cookies with chocolate chunks and a few marshmallows. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cookies is golden brown on the edges. The center will remain soft, but it will harden when cold. Be careful not to overcook them if you like a chewy inside.

Notes

- The Monk fruit sweetener brand that I use is Lacanto. It can be easily replaced by sugar as the sweetness is the same.
