Why This Recipe Works

Traditional Chocolate Crinkle Cookies use white flour and sugar, making them high in carbs. This keto version uses almond flour, Keystone Pantry allulose, and unsweetened chocolate to give you rich, fudgy cookies that are low-carb and keto-friendly. The powdered allulose coating gives the classic snow-dusted, crinkled appearance.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened: Adds richness and a tender, moist crumb.
• ½ cup granulated Keystone Pantry allulose: Sweetens without adding carbs.
• 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted: Provides deep chocolate flavor and fudgy texture.
• 2 large eggs: Bind the dough and provide structure and moisture.
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Enhances and rounds out chocolate flavor.
• 1 cup almond flour: Low-carb, gluten-free base flour.
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour: Absorbs moisture to prevent sticky dough.
• 2 teaspoons baking powder: Leavening to create the crinkle effect.
• ¼ teaspoon salt: Enhances chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
• ½ cup powdered Keystone Pantry allulose (for rolling): Creates the classic crinkle appearance.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and granulated allulose until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, add vanilla, then melted chocolate. Mix until smooth.
4. Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Chill 2–3 hours.
6. Scoop dough into 1 tbsp balls, roll in powdered allulose.
7. Place 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Bake 10–12 minutes. Cool 5–10 minutes on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.

Nutrition Facts (per cookie)

FAQ

Can I use another keto sweetener?

Yes, erythritol or monk fruit blends can be substituted, but allulose gives the best browning and fudgy texture.

Why chill the dough?

Chilling firms up the sticky dough, making it easier to roll and helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.

How do I get the crinkle effect?

Generously coat cookie dough balls in powdered sweetener. As the cookie bakes, it spreads and cracks, revealing the crinkle pattern.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Dough can be prepared, rolled, and frozen. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.

Are these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, because they are made with almond flour and coconut flour, which are naturally gluten-free.
