It’s clearly cookie season! As soon as the holidays start, the cookie ideas start churning. I’m excited to share these Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with the family, but I also wanted to come up with a cookie that would please the peppermint haters and satisfy all year round, too! 

These Kitchen Sink Cookies are ready for any holiday parties, work potlucks, or cookie exchanges you might have coming up. They are low-carb, gluten-free, diabetic-friendly, and keto! I packed them full of butterscotch chips, dark chocolate chips, pecans, and walnuts so every bite has tons of flavor and barely any carbs.

You could easily change the additions based on your preferences! You could include keto pretzels, toffee, or other favorites. This is a great base recipe, so feel free to just toss in the 2 cups of additions of your choice!  These are also easily freezable both before and after cooking, making them super convenient to prepare ahead of time and work into even the busiest of plans.

What are kitchen sink cookies?

Kitchen Sink Cookies get their name from the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink.” These cookies are packed with salty and sweet ingredients… In this case, I used sugar-free butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chips as well as pecans and walnuts. You could easily bulk these up more with keto-friendly pretzel sticks, even homemade keto toffee bits if you wanted. 

These Kitchen Sink Cookies are the perfect keto cookie recipe! Packed with butterscotch, dark chocolate, and nuts, this sugar-free cookie is going to be a hit!

Ingredients Kitchen Sink Cookies

Tips for Sugar Free Butterscotch Chips

Lily’s Butterscotch chips melt very differently than regular or sugar free chocolate chips. If you find the butterscotch is is melting away from the cookie as they cook simply use a silicone spatula to push the butterscotch towards the cookie. This will create those perfect caramelized, almost crispy, crunchy edges.

These Keto Kitchen Sink Cookies are as delicious as they look! Gluten-free, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly for the perfect holiday cookie recipe.

Can I use coconut flour?

No, this recipe is formulated for almond flour only. Almond and coconut flour are not 1 to 1 substitutes and they absorb liquid very differently. If you use coconut flour instead it will result in dry, crumbly cookies. 

Tips For Making Keto from Scratch

  • Use real butter for this cookie recipe. For the best flavor and texture use a quality butter instead of a butter substitute. 
  • Chill the dough!!! This is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! While the mixture is being  beaten the dough gets warm which would result in cookies that spread a lot. You absolutely must chill the dough so the butter gets completely hard again before baking.
  • Do not overcook! Remember the cookies will continue to bake on the hot pan after you remove them from the oven. If you wait until the cookies look done they will actually be overdone. 
  • Use a silicone baking sheet so the cookies bake evenly and never stick. 
  • Do not flatten the dough, just scoop and bake. 
  • Do not transfer these cookies to a cooling rack immediately, they will break apart easily. Allow them to cool and set on the pan, then transfer. 

These keto Kitchen Sink Cookies are chock full of flavor--Butterscotch, dark chocolate, pecans, and walnuts! Low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, and a family favorite.

Can I freeze keto cookies?

You can definitely freeze keto cookies! My favorite way is to chill and scoop the dough, then freeze the dough on a baking sheet for about 2 hours. Once the dough is hard, I transfer them to a freezer bag. You can store the dough up to 6 months, making it easy to make large batches and pull out the exact amount you need when you want freshly baked, low-carb cookies.

You can also freeze these after baking. To prevent them from picking up other flavors and scents from the freezer, I like to wrap two cookies together with plastic wrap, then store in a freezer bag. It’s easy to pull out cookies whenever I want a treat, leaving them to thaw unwrapped on the counter. If you put frozen cookies in your lunchbox, they’ll likely be thawed and soft by the time lunch rolls around!

You know I love my keto cookies, but sometimes I just cannot wait for the dough to chill. My sweet tooth needs something quickly, and it pretty much always wants a gooey, delicious cookie. Sometimes I’ll make these Chocolate Chip Sheet Pan Keto Cookies (or this DIVINE double chocolate version), but this time I wanted something different.

To be honest, I was thinking about that Applebee’s cookie skillet, one of my sister’s favorite desserts… The cast iron leaves the edges so buttery and crispy while the middle is a gooey, tasty mess of barely-cooked dough and chocolate chips! So after some trial and error to get just the right mix using keto-friendly ingredients like almond flour and golden monkfruit sweetener, I can finally introduce you to the amazing Keto Skillet Cookie!

P.S. If you love that doughy center like my sister, just take it out a minute early and dig in before it cools!

Ingredients for Keto Skillet Cookie

As always, this is a quick overview of what you need for this recipe. To get the complete recipe and instructions just keep scrolling.

Luckily, this recipe requires just a handful of very basic ingredients. If you already do much keto baking you very likely already have them on hand! For this keto cookie recipe you will need:

How do you make a low carb skillet cookie?

First step is to line your cast iron skillet or pie pan with parchment paper. You don’t have to do this, you can liberally spray the skillet instead, however, if you plan to eat your cookie warm I highly recommend using parchment paper so you can more easily remove the cookie. preheat your oven to 350 degrees. The next step is to make the cookie dough batter! 

In a small bowl combine the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Next, beat butter, golden monkfruit sweetener (keto brown sugar sub) and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until creamy.  Once the mixture has reached a creamy consistency add the egg, beating the mixture on low speed. Gradually pour in the almond flour mixture. Lastly, mix in Lilly’s Dark Chocolate Chips.

Scrape the mixture into the prepared cast iron skillet and bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and nearly set in the middle. 

Why do I line the pan?

Almond flour crumbles easier than regular flour, when warm almond flour is especially prone to crumbling. By lining the pan you will make it much easier to slice and remove the cookie from the skillet.

What chocolate chips are keto-friendly?

Lily’s sugar free chocolate has been my go to keto chocolate for years now. Depending on the area you live in it may be difficult to find keto-friendly chocolate. Luckily, most grocery stores now carry Lily’s. If you are unable to find them locally, Amazon usually carries them as well.

No, coconut flour and almond flour have very different absorption rates. I recommend following this recipe as written for the best results.
