As if my keto chocolate chip cookies aren’t addicting enough, keto bacon chocolate chip cookies are everything a cookie should be. Sweet, salty, chocolatey, crunchy, and let’s just say umami!
I have a keto bakery, which by now, you may know about or perhaps have visited. I sell out of my keto chocolate chip pecan cookies every week. Due to cottage baking laws, I can’t sell keto chocolate chip cookies with bacon, but I can share this recipe and you can make them at home.
Ingredients for Keto Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Almond Flour
- Coconut Flour
- Eggs
- Butter
- Gelatin (optional)
- Black Strap Molasses (gives that brown sugar taste)
- Erythritol
- Salt
- Bacon
- Pecans
I have found that a combination of both almond flour and coconut flour make the best textured cookie. I add in some powdered gelatin to add a little chewiness to the cookie and make them less brittle.
What Size Cookie Should I Make?
I like a big but reasonably sized cookie. Fifty five grams (close to 2 ounces) seems to be perfect and is the size I sell in the bakery. You can make these cookies thinner or thicker, but after having experimented, I prefer them thinner.
How to Bake Keto Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ll be honest. Baking cookies with alternative flours is tricky and after much experimentation, I have settled on 350 degrees F. (180 C). on the bake mode of my oven. I don’t bake on convection mode as that mode in my oven has a hot spot. If you have to bake on convection, bake at 325 F. (160 C.)
The other thing I do before I bake my cookies is shape them, put them on a baking sheet with a silpat (you can use parchment) and freeze for about 10 to 15 minutes. They seem to bake better this way. I don’t recommend baking warm or room temperature cookie batter, as they will spread out too much.
I always check my cookies at ten minutes, knowing they won’t be done but it helps me figure out if I should go another 3 or 4 minutes.

Kitchen Tools
Instructions
- Fry bacon crispy and cut into small bacon pieces. Make sure to drain on paper towels. Or bake in oven with this recipe.
- Mix all dry ingredients except erythritol. Set aside
- Cream butter with erythritol.
- Add eggs, vanilla and black strap molasses.
- Add dry ingredients to this mix.
- Add chocolate chips, pecans, bacon.
- Refrigerate dough for one hour to overnight if you have the time. Take out about 30 minutes in advance to shape cookies, as cookie dough could be a little stiff.
To Make Cookies:
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. bake or 325 degrees Convection.
- Take each ball, press down in circle to about 3 to 3.5 inches across, making sure each cookie is even all around, especially the edges, that often get too thin. This will ensure more even baking.
- Measure out 18 cookies in balls. Each cookies is approximately 55 grams.
- Bake 6-8 at a time if making very large cookies.
- Bake on un-greased pan (I use silpat or parchment) to easily remove.
- Bake for approximately 14 minutes. Check at 12 minutes just to see how far they have come.
- Leave the cookies on the sheet untouched for at least ten minutes before moving to a baking rack. They easily fall apart when warm, but will harden as they cool.
- Allow to COMPLETELY COOL, before storing.
- Store in cookie tins. I've left on counter for a few days and they stayed fresh.
- If you put in plastic bag, you will add moisture to the cookie and change the texture.
- You can freeze cookie dough and you can freeze baked cookies. You can freeze cookies, one on top of the other.
