These keto triple chocolate cookies must be the chocolatiest cookies I’ve ever made. They are rich, soft, fudgy, and slightly chewy.
Truly, these were created for a true chocolate lover enthusiast. It’s a must-have cookie recipe for anyone doing the keto diet looking for a way to satisfy a chocolate craving dead in its tracks.
Trust me when I tell you that this low-carb chocolate cookie is one that the entire family will beg you to make, even if they are not on a ketogenic diet.
Made with cocoa powder, baking chocolate, and sugar-free chocolate chips, this cookie recipe will make a believer in keto out of anyone.
Look, I could have easily stopped with only two forms of chocolate for this keto cookie, but why if we can have a triple effect of chocolate goodness?
It’s one recipe you’ll want to add to your snack rotation. I also invite you to check out our keto chocolate cream cheese cookies and, for that matter, our entire keto cookie collection to help keep your sweet tooth cravings at bay.
Low-Carb Triple Chocolate Cookies
Melting baking chocolate, sugar-free chocolate chips, and butter are required to make these triple chocolate cookies. I do so gently over a double boiler, but once that step is done, it’s smooth sailing.
Then, I combine the cocoa powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, a dash of salt, and a little instant coffee powder in a separate bowl.
The coffee enhances the flavor of the chocolate, but you can leave it out if you are making this for the kids.
Once the chocolate and butter mixer has cooled, eggs and sugar substitute are added.
Now, it’s just a matter of combining the wet and dry ingredients and folding them in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Probably the most challenging part of this keto triple chocolate cookie is waiting for the cookie dough to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Best Keto-Friendly Chocolate Options For This Recipe
When it came time to pick the brands I wanted for the baking chocolate, I went with the classic easy-to-find Baker’s brand.
Why? Because it’s consistently good. There is no need for a premium price tag when this brand works perfectly.
Again, when it came to choosing cocoa powder, I went with my go-to brand, Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa. You can, however, use Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa with similar results.
Since I wanted these cookies to have a deep chocolate flavor, I opted for dark processed cocoa, but you can use regular cocoa if you prefer.
Regarding which sugar-free chocolate chips to use, I always go for Lily’s stevia-sweetened chocolate.
Hands down, it’s my favorite sugar-free chocolate chip choice, but you can also use Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate chips.
How To Make Keto Triple Chocolate Cookies
To make these delicious chocolate keto cookies, start by melting the baking chocolate, ½ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips, and unsalted butter in a double boiler. Stir the mixture with a spatula until it’s thoroughly combined.
Alternatively, you can melt the baking chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals.
Whisk together unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, and instant coffee in a separate bowl, then set this mixture aside.
Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled, add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.
Next, mix in the vanilla extract and your preferred granulated sugar substitute until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula until just combined, and then fold in the remaining sugar-free chocolate chips.
Allow the cookie dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Would you like to save this?
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and prepare your cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake the cookies for about 13 minutes, ensuring not to overbake them for that perfect chewy inside and crispy outside.
Once baked, let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them, as they will be fragile while warm. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 weeks.
Sugar Substitute Options
I have several options for you when it comes to choosing which granulated sugar substitute to use for these chocolate cookies.
My go-to choice is Lakanto Monk Fruit because its texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar and because there is barely any aftertaste.
I’m also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend. Like Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols, which has a 0 % impact on blood sugar.
I don’t particularly appreciate using stevia in chocolate-based recipes because I am sensitive to the aftertaste, and the bitterness can be magnified in chocolate recipes.
The exception is Lily’s stevia-based chocolate, which has zero bitterness. I genuinely have no idea how they do it.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda successfully.
Magnesium In Chocolate
Did you know that there is evidence that we can benefit from enjoying dark chocolate in our diet?
That’s because it contains a nice amount of magnesium, an essential mineral our bodies need to function properly.
Coming in at 176 mg in a 100 g serving, it’s a great way to add a little more magnesium to our diet. It sounds to me like yet another great excuse to enjoy these low-carb chocolate cookies.
In addition to magnesium, dark chocolate contains a specific group of antioxidants called flavonoids.
