The cookies and milk snack is a childhood staple. And (let’s be honest), we don’t really grow out of enjoying this yummy, comforting snack.
When it comes to cookie flavors, I love chocolate chip cookies. I also enjoy ginger and shortbread cookies, but they don’t come close to chocolate chip.
But they can’t just be any old chocolate chip cookie. I’m quite particular about the texture. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Packed with chocolate chips.
A while back I came across a delicious recipe that was quite easy to make. In fact, my husband and I made it so many times we actually got a bit sick of it.
This was back before we started following a keto diet, so that recipe (that used sugar, applesauce, and plain white flour) would definitely not work for us now.

Luckily, following a Keto diet doesn’t mean you have to skip the cookies – the ingredients just need to be adjusted slightly.

No matter if you are chocolate cookie fan, or prefer a more nutty flavor, there is an option here for you. The only problem is, which to choose…
