Tools used to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Fat Bomb
Large Mixing Bowl: This mixing bowl is perfect for mixing and serving. I love how big it is! I can use it for anything and everything.
Hand Mixer: While I love my stand mixer, this handheld mixer is perfect for smaller recipes and when I need just a quick mix.
Baking Sheet: A nice big baking sheet is a must-have for any kitchen. This half pan sheet is large than a regular cookie and works great for anything you’re baking.
Parchment Paper: Your baked goods will never stick again! I love using parchment paper for everything from cookies to pizzas!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ⅓ cup Swerve confectioners sugar (Erythritol sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cup almond flour
- 9 ounces dark chocolate chips (I used Lily’s)
- 8 ounces sugar-free chocolate chips (I used Hershey’s)
Instructions

- Add in almond flour a little at a time and mix until dough consistency forms. Pour in dark chocolate chips and mix. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove dough from fridge and use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to form 1-inch balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon). Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pure chocolatey heaven!! This is the only recipe I will ever need for keto cookie dough balls. Pure perfection!
K says
Instead of dipping, could you just bake the cookie dough?
Real Housemoms JK says
These are meant to be a no-bake treat.
Jade says
is this gluten and dairy free?
Real Housemoms JK says
Hey Jade, we used almond flour in this recipe. Check your chocolate chips to make sure they don’t have dairy in them if you are sensitive to dairy.
Shelly Dollins says
I have been looking for a keto dessert that actually tastes good. These are great! Very easy to make and satisfy my sugar cravings.
Gretchen says
Is the butter salted or unsalted?
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hello Gretchen! I use regular butter. Hope this helps!
Tanya Peila says
If I only use the Lily’s dark chocolate chips and not the sugar free ones what do you think the carbs make up would be. I can’t find sugar free to save my life!
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hey Tanya! I think that would be fine! Have you tried it yet?
Shelly says
Did your microwaved sugar free chocolate chips get thin enough to dip the balls in?? I couldn’t seem to get it that thin and, instead, had to spoon the chocolate all over the balls which was very messy and time consuming. Any suggestions to simplify this step. Other than that, these are ridiculously good!!
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hey Shelly! Did you cook them slowly in the microwave and stir after each 30 seconds?
Rachel King says
Can I subsitute Kosher salt for pink himalayan salt? If so, same measurements?
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hello Rachel! It should be the same measurement if you are talking about the more coarse pink salt.
Darla says
My husband is on Atkins and has a sweet tooth! Lol these work perfect for a sweet treat 🍫🍡. They are rich enough you can’t eat too many at a time! Thank you so
Much For Sharing this recipe! he’s lost 15 lbs so far !
Lindsey says
Tastes just like raw cookie dough! I have tried several types of keto dessert fat bombs and couldn’t find the right one so I kept coming back to this one. One is just enough to crave my sweet tooth!
Jill Roberts @ Wellnessgeeky.com says
Legit speechless, that keto chocolate chip cookie fat bombs recipe looks unreal! Definitely I will make it on the weekend for my family.
Julia Stearns @ Healthirony says
I finally got to make these keto chocolate chip cookie fat bombs this past weekend and it was such a hit!!
Maureen says
These are delicious! However, I really struggled with dipping them. The melted chocolate chips were still pretty thick and I was worried about microwaving them more and burning them.
Matt says
Try using a double boiler next time. I find that works a lot better.
Laura says
Hey! Here’s what I learned, as I love my fat bombs coated in dark chocolate.
Use a water bath. This is my take on it.. put a Pyrex type glass (I use a glass measuring cup) in a small sauce pan. Put water in the sauce pan. Like an inch or two. Put the chocolate in the glass that’s inside the sauce pan. Add some fat to the chocolate so it thins out (coconut oil, butter, etc) boil the water and the chocolate will melt. (Obviously stir through the process) but this keep the chocolate warm and from burning. Turn the heat off when you’re chocolate is melted but don’t take it out of the hot water!
Michelle Sanders says
Can you use cocunut flour instead of almond?
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hello Michelle! I have not tried coconut flour with these. If you try it just remember that coconut flour absorbs more liquid so try starting with less. Let me know how it goes!
Geovanna says
You didn’t leave an ingredient list.
Also I see, you wrote add sugar. We can’t hace sugar on Keto. So I thought maybe it was a type of Keto sugar, so I tried to look at your list, but you don’t have one.
So what type of sugar is this?
Jennifer Kimmel says
Hey Geovanna! This is Swerve confectioners sugar (Erythritol sweetener)
Jeffrey Sutton says
These aren’t really keto if you add sugar and have 12g carb PER 1fat bomb. Low carb, yes, keto they are not.
Julie Kotzbach says
Hi Jeffrey! After factoring in the sugar alcohols from the sweetener and both types of chocolate chips, the fat bombs have a net carb amount of 4.1 grams each. Unfortunately, this is not something our nutrition calculator can figure out on its own, but we have made a note of it at the bottom of the recipe card. 🙂
Frank says
I love hearing people say “that’s low carb but not keto”. You mean keto as in the process of ketosis whereby the body uses fat for fuel instead of sugar? And where the daily carbs to keep someone in ketosis varies per person? So, anything that is low carb enough to keep you in ketosis over the course of a day could be keto then? Or is something keto only if it has zero carbs – because if that’s the case (which it isn’t) then basically no natural foods are keto and no one is on the keto diet.
Crystal says
Maltitol does impact blood sugar, usually just as much as regular sugar. These are most definitely NOT ketogenic friendly unless you got rid of the Hershey sugar free.
B says
Great
