These cherry chocolate cookies are a delightful treat for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health. The first time I experimented with fruit in keto cookies, I worried the moisture might disrupt the texture, but with a careful balance of flours, these turned out perfectly soft and chewy. This recipe offers a perfect balance of tart cherries and rich chocolate, all without the added sugar, making these cherry chocolate cookies a guilt-free indulgence. They’re quick to prepare and ideal for satisfying those sweet cravings.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1  cups almond flour
  •  cup Swerve Brown (lightly packed)
  •  cup collagen protein powder
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour
  •  teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  •  cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp cherry extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line two large baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper. Set the oven racks at the second highest and second lowest positions in the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, collagen, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the egg, butter, and extracts until the dough comes together.
  3. Gently stir in two thirds of the chopped chocolate and all of the chopped cherries. Take care not to crush the cherries too much.
  4. Form the dough into 15 balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway through baking. The cookies should be puffed and golden, but still very soft. While the cookies are still soft, press the remaining chocolate pieces into the tops.
  6. Let cool completely on the pans for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

– For the best texture, ensure your butter is fully melted but not hot when adding to the dry ingredients. This helps create a cohesive dough.
– If your dough feels too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes before forming balls. This makes handling much easier.
– To prevent over-browning, rotate your baking sheets halfway through the baking time. This ensures even cooking and a consistent golden finish across all your cherry chocolate cookies.
– Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
