It was a rainy Sunday, the perfect baking day, and I was determined to recreate my favorite treat without breaking my keto streak. The result? A batch of cookies so indulgent and satisfying that even my non-keto friends couldn't resist.
Imagine the aroma of buttery dough mingling with rich, melty chocolate chips. Now picture a golden-brown cookie with a soft center and just the right amount of chew. These keto chocolate chip cookies bring all the joy of the classic treat without the guilt.
