Air Fryer Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies - Easy, Fast, and Low-Carb

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Pre-heat 5 minutes
Total Time 23 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (finely ground, blanched)
  • Coconut flour
  • Unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Granular keto sweetener (erythritol or erythritol-monk fruit blend)
  • Egg
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking powder (gluten-free if needed)
  • Salt
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or similar)
  • Optional add-ins: Chopped pecans or walnuts, unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Air fryer-safe parchment or a silicone mat for the basket

Instructions
 

  • Soften the butter: Let 6 tablespoons unsalted butter sit at room temperature until soft. If using coconut oil, make sure it’s softened but not melted.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Break up any lumps.
  • Cream the butter and sweetener: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with 1/2 cup granular keto sweetener until light and fluffy, 1–2 minutes.
  • Add egg and vanilla: Mix in 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth. Scrape the bowl.
  • Combine wet and dry: Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir until a thick dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.
  • Fold in chips: Stir in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips. Add 2–3 tablespoons chopped nuts if you like.
  • Chill the dough: Cover and chill for 20–30 minutes. This helps the cookies keep their shape and improves texture.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Heat to 320°F (160°C) for 3–5 minutes. Line the basket with perforated parchment or a silicone mat.
  • Portion the cookies: Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoon mounds (about 12 cookies total). Roll lightly and press into 1/2-inch thick discs. Space them so air can circulate.
  • Air fry in batches: Cook for 6–8 minutes at 320°F (160°C) until edges are golden and centers look set but slightly soft. They firm up as they cool.
  • Cool before moving: Let cookies sit in the basket 3 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully.
  • Adjust to your air fryer: Some models run hotter. If bottoms brown too fast, lower to 300°F (150°C) and add 1–2 minutes.
