Keto Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners
- 1/3 cup butter
plus 1 tablespoon, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan)
(Optional, but helps with the texture
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tablespoon zest of orange
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice)
(or cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners
to dust
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C /160 fan.
- 2
In a stand mixer or using a hand electric whisk, whisk the eggs and Swerve until light, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter and vanilla extract until combined.
- 3
Sprinkle the almond flour, coconut flour, cacao, xanthan, baking powder and salt evenly into the wet mixture and whisk until just combined. Try not to over whisk.
- 4
Roll the mix into individual balls. If the mix is a little sticky, wet your hands with a little oil before rolling. Option to place in the fridge if you need to before rolling.
- 5
Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Note in the picture, I dusted in a layer of sweetener first but later decided it’s better just to dust afterwards for a softer cookie or the cookies set harder.
- 6
Bake for 7 - 9 minutes, or until the cookies are still a little soft, pressing the cookies slightly down to get the crinkle effect about 1 minute before they look done. They will firm up as they cool. Try not to over bake. Allow to cool slightly and roll in powdered sweetener. If storing, option to roll in powdered sugar just before eating as the sweetener will make the cookies set harder.

Storage: In Tupperware for 3 days or freezer for 2 months.

About this Recipe
Craving that classic festive cookie charm without the sugar crash? These Keto Chocolate Crinkle Cookies bring all the holiday cheer with a fraction of the carbs, making them your perfect guilt-free treat. If you're looking for a super easy Christmas cookie, you've found it!
What makes these chocolate crinkle cookies truly special is their effortless preparation: they're mixed in just one bowl with no chilling required, meaning you can go from craving to cookie in about 20 minutes. The thoughtful combination of almond and coconut flours, along with optional xanthan gum, ensures a tender crumb and that signature crinkled texture you love.
Prepare for a delightful bite that's intensely chocolatey, with a subtle yet sophisticated hint of orange zest and warm mixed spices. Each cookie boasts that iconic sugary "cracked" exterior from the dusting of powdered sweetener, contrasting beautifully with a soft, fudgy interior. These naturally low-carb cookies are a truly satisfying indulgence, perfect for a cozy afternoon or a festive gathering, delivering rich flavor without any complicated techniques.
Customization & Variations
You can easily adapt these crinkle cookies to your pantry. If you don't have cacao powder, unsweetened cocoa powder works perfectly. Similarly, cinnamon can stand in for mixed spice if that's what you have on hand. For those who prefer a simpler texture, the xanthan gum is optional, though it does help achieve a chewier, more cohesive cookie.
These decadent cookies are ideal for holiday platters, cozy evenings, or simply as a comforting treat with a freshly brewed cup of tea. They invite you to slow down, snuggle up, and savor the season.
