These egg free keto cookies are the bee’s knees! How could they not be, modeled after my FAMOUS CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! That’s right, I took my most popular, no-fail, cookie recipes and modified them to be nut and egg-free… dairy-free too (that’s right, no butter).

Seeds FTW!
I ground up raw pumpkin seeds, yessss PEPITAS! Mixed with a little coconut flour to act as an anti-caking agent. That’s what I used as flour for these delicious low-carb chocolate chip cookies! This pumpkin seed flour not only gives the cookies amazing flavor but their cool green color. Perfect for the holidays!
Pumpkin seeds are packed with magnesium, zinc, omega 3 fatty acids and are rich in natural phytoestrogens. They’re great to take during the follicular phase of your cycle when you have your period. Along with flaxseeds… which this recipe also has. Say what? A delicious, healthy cookie that you SHOULD eat when you have your period? SIGN. ME. UP. To learn more about seed cycling click HERE.Â
If seeds don’t sit well with you, consider soaking them with a pinch of salt before ingesting them. Soaking seeds for a few hours naturally lowers their phytic acid which can cause digestive distress. After soaking gently roast in the oven at low temperatures to dry out.
The Ingredients for Egg Free Keto Cookies
Raw pumpkin seeds, flax meal, baking soda, and salt, as well as a scoop of pastured gelatin for chewiness! Then we need some chocolate and sweetener! Go quality with chocolate, it always pays off. As for the sweetener, well that’s a personal choice. I like erythritol, Truvia, and Swerve for low carb/keto cookies. If you’re of the paleo persuasion you can use maple sugar or coconut palm sugar.
If you go ahead with a liquid sweetener like Lakanato Syrup, raw honey or maple syrup you will need to OMIT the coconut milk.
