We have had several requests to make a Keto Cookie Dough recipe and we finally caved in. If you’ve got a sweet tooth and you don’t have time for baking – the these Keto Cookie Dough Fat Bombs are going to be your new best friend.
As always, if you’re confused about the steps described in the recipe, just tune in to our recipe video and follow along.
How To Make Cookie Dough Keto Fat Bombs
Don’t try turning this dough into actual keto chocolate chip cookies! This is made specifically to be eaten as raw cookie dough, as a fat bomb. If you bake this you will be very disappointed.
Use Lots of Fat
This is important since we are making fat bombs after all. In this recipe we are using a combination of butter and cream cheese. In most keto recipes you can substitute coconut oil in place of butter if you want to but I would encourage against that for these fat bombs. The butter is more stable at room temperature which results in a better consistency in this keto cookie dough recipe.
Keto Friendly Chocolate Chips
There are more than a few options of keto friendly chocolate chips these days but the one we always use is Lily’s chocolate chips. The importance is finding chocolate chips that are sweetened, and not using unsweetened chocolate. If all you can find in your area is bakers chocolate then add extra sweetener to the dough to compensate.
Use Stevia AND Erythritol
This combination is important for achieving a well-rounded sweetness, without a bitter aftertaste. This recipe doesn’t call for a ton of sweetener because the rest of the ingredients bring some subtle sweetness of their own.
Pro Tip: If you want to avoid the gritty texture of the granular erythritol you can opt for a powdered version (although I do not find it to be off-putting in this recipe).
Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature
Bringing ingredients to room temperature allows for them to mix completely without any clumping. That is extra important for no bake recipes because the cooking process is what eliminates most issues with clumpy dough.
Use a Cookie Scoop
Not the biggest tip, but don’t underestimate this crafty little tool. I always thought it was a waste of money to have a utensil specifically for scooping cookies, but it comes in handy quite a bit. For less than $15 it’s well worth the cost.
But I Want A Real Keto Cookie…
You should look at this recipe as more of a fat bomb recipe that you can form into whatever shape you want or relive old memories by eating straight out of the fridge!
If you are interested in chocolate chip cookies, however, we have these chewy chocolate chip cookies you can make! These will actually turn in to cookies when you put them in the oven… We promise. They would pair great with your morning Bulletproof Coffee.
What is a Fat Bomb?
A fat bomb is a small, high fat snack. Typically fat bombs are sweet and are very low in carbs. They come in handy for people that are just starting a keto diet and need a convenient way to add more fat to their diet. Replacing traditional desserts with fat bombs is a good option for most!
Keto Edible Cookie Dough
This keto cookie dough recipe is our new go to dessert because it brings us back to our childhood. We love to clean up after dinner, pull out a couple of these cookie dough balls and enjoy them guilt free as a fat bomb capper for the end of the night! If you are a cookie dough fan, make this keto cookie dough with your favorite add-ins!

How much Stevia do you use if if you don’t have erythritol or liquid Stevia??
Hi Ashleigh – we have a sweetener conversion chart here that my help: Low Carb Sweeteners Conversion Chart
The conversion chart did not help since there is two sweeteners in this I have the original and golden lakanto which has erithretol in it and I’m just not sure how much to put I am a newbie 3 days in and want to have a fat bomb my teen daughter will like since the whole family started Monday.
It can definitely be confusing when you’re getting started! With these sweeteners, sometimes the best thing to do is to experiment with amounts. Start small and taste test until you find what you’re happy with.
You prob already tried it, but if not, I’m trying this today too. I’m hoping my hubby will like this cause he loves cookie dough and he really needs something sweet right now. I only have granulated and liquid stevia, so I’m gonna try 1/4c dry n to taste with the liquid if I need more. I’ve tried the sweetener u have and is good. I would def start with 1/4c and add to taste from there.
I just made these, and oh my goodness! They are so yummy! Thanks for a great recipe.
I made these and followed everything but the size i only had a basic ice cream scoop and that made 11 ish balls if i would have filled it just slightly less than full it would have made 12? My ice cream scooper is much bigger than a 1 inch cookie scooper how is it that i got so close to 12 balls with your recipe and such a big scoop? Did you have alot of extra dough using a 1 inch scoop? Also maybe i mixed it to much itbwas pretty fluffy before i put it in the fridge
Hi! I was curious if the liquid stevia is necessary. I don’t have any and wanted to make these with what I have on hand.
i just started Keto the last week of september 2019. I love this site . Thank you. Love your videos too.
I made these the other day, and I really enjoyed them. I am a huge real sugar worm, so for me to say they are really good is means something!! Thanks for all the good stuff! I froze them and I think they taste better right out of the freezer!
So glad you love them! Congrats on starting your Keto journey!
I loved this recipe so much! What is the recommended serving size (how many balls should I eat at a time)? Another general question I have been wondering about…. for someone just starting out with the keto lifestyle, is it recommended to stay away from delicious keto snack recipes like this one? Or, does it not have a negative impact on someone just getting started with keto?
Serving size is one fat bomb! As far as keto snacks, it’s really dependent on the individual. Some people find that it is really helpful for making the transition to keto, some find that it just makes them crave more snacks and dessert.
What can you substitute the almond flour with as i cant have nuts
So delish!!!
I love this website so much the recipes are great however I wish we could get more of the products in the UK.
