Cooking tools required

To make this Toll House (Chocolate Chip) Cookie Recipe, you will need these cooking tools:

Baking sheet
Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Spatula or spoon for mixing
Hand mixer or stand mixer (optional)
Cooling rack

Tools substitute options

Baking sheet: If you don't have parchment paper, simply lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Mixing bowl: Any bowl that can hold all the ingredients will work perfectly fine for mixing.
Whisk: Don't have a whisk? No need to worry! You can use a fork or spoon to blend the ingredients together.

Cooking methods

Oven-baking

Preparation steps

First, gather and measure all of your ingredients. Make sure you have everything you need before you start.
Grab a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and put it on your baking sheet. If you have smaller baking sheets, it's better to use two to make sure there's enough space.
Melt the butter and let it cool down a bit. You don't want it to be too hot when you mix it in the dough.
If you're using walnuts, chop them up into small pieces.

Cooking instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a big bowl, combine all the ingredients, including almond flour, baking soda, and brown stevia. Give them a good whisk until everything is well mixed.
Now, add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir everything together until it's nicely combined.
If you're adding walnuts to your cookies, add them at this step and add half of the chocolate chip cookies.
Take small portions of the dough and roll it into balls about 1 ½ inches in size. Place them on the pre-lined baking sheet.
Use your hand to gently press each ball until they're about ¾ inch thick. Be careful not to press too hard because the dough will spread out as it bakes.
Add the remaining chocolate chips on top, and press them gently into the dough.
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake the cookies for around 15 to 18 minutes. Cookies should puff up and turn golden brown around the edges when they are done.
Once they're done, take them out of the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet before you transfer them to a serving plate.

Chef's pro tip

Try not to overbake your Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies! You don't want them to be dry and crumbly. Cookies should stay soft, and they will continue to set while cooling. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before you dig in!

How to serve toll house chip cookies?

Almond milk: Serve the cookies warm and pair them with a glass of cold unsweetened almond milk or your preferred non-dairy milk.
Cookie crumbles topping: For added crunch and flavor, crush up a few cookies and sprinkle them on top of your favorite dairy-free yogurt.
Keto ice cream: How about transforming your toll house cookies into an ice cream sandwich? With so many choices for sugar-free ice cream, you can make a fantastic dessert. Put a scoop of your favorite flavor between two cookies and enjoy a keto ice cream sandwich.
Greek yogurt with berries: For a tangy contrast, serve them with some high-protein Greek yogurt and a handful of low-sugar berries like raspberries or blackberries.

How to make it healthier?

These almond flour chocolate chip cookies are not made from regular flour, and that makes them a great choice for a healthy keto dessert. Here are some tips to make your Toll House Cookie Recipe healthier:

Coconut oil (dairy-free option): If you need a dairy-free alternative, go for coconut oil instead of butter. It adds a rich tropical flavor to the cookies while keeping them dairy free.
Nutrient-dense ingredients: Take your cookies to the next level by incorporating chia seeds or flax seeds into the dough. These power-packed ingredients not only enhance the nutritional value but also add a delightful texture to your cookies.

Time-saving tips

Use a cookie scoop: Use a cookie scoop to shape the dough into balls. This is quicker and easier than rolling them by hand.

What can I prepare ahead of time?

Cookie dough: Prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake, take it out, roll it into balls, and pop your cookies into the oven.
Baking sheet: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats ahead of time.

Storage and reheating instructions

Storage tips

Room temperature: Store the chocolate chip cookies in an airtight box at room temperature for 5 days.

Reheating tips

Microwave: When in a hurry, you can also warm them in the microwave. Heat them on a microwave-safe plate for 10-15 seconds. Be careful not to overheat.

Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
¾ cup granulated brown stevia
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon of sea salt
½ cup butter melted and cooled to a room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips divided
¼ cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). It's important to get that oven nice and toasty.
In a big bowl, combine all the ingredients, including almond flour, baking soda, and Brown Stevia. Give them a good whisk until everything is well mixed.
Now, add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir everything together until it's nicely combined.
If you're adding walnuts to your cookies, mix them in with half of the chocolate chips.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 ½ inches in size. Place these dough balls on your pre-lined baking sheet.
Use your hand to gently press each ball down until it's about ¾ inch thick. Be careful not to press too hard because the dough will spread out as it bakes.
Don't forget to press the remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the dough for that extra chocolatey goodness!
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the cookies bake for around 15 to 18 minutes. Keep an eye on them—they should puff up and turn golden brown around the edges.
Once they're done, take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving plate.
