    These cookie dough fat bombs are the perfect guilt-free treat! They are easy to prepare, full of healthy fats, and only have 1 net carb each!

    While they're great as-is, I prefer to add a chocolate drizzle to make them extra chocolaty and decadent. I highly recommend the chocolate drizzle, it turns a great recipe into a to-die-for recipe!

    They're also great for meal prep! You can make a large batch and snack on them all week long!

    Or if you prefer baked chocolate chip cookies, be sure to check out my keto chocolate chip cookie recipe.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are fat bombs?

    Fat bombs are typically bite-sized snacks or desserts made with mostly healthy fats (such as coconut oil, nut butter, avocado, or grass-fed butter) with little to no carbs. They're a great way to add fats when following a keto diet. But be careful, one or two will do!

    Can I make these Paleo and dairy-free?

    Yes, you can! To do this, replace the keto sweetener with 2 tablespoon coconut palm sugar and 2 Tbsp. honey or pure maple syrup and replace the butter with 2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil or non-dairy butter, adding more if needed to help the bites hold together.

    Ingredients

    • Softened Butter - Healthy fat, flavor, and smoothness.
    • Keto Powdered Sweetener - Sweetness, you can use any keto sweetener, but it must be powdered!
    • Blanched Almond Flour - This is a low-carb flour and is the base of the recipe.
    • Sea Salt - Enhance flavor.
    • Baking Soda - For taste.
    • Pure Vanilla - Enhance flavor.
    • Blackstrap Molasses - Optional, but highly recommended! It adds an authentic cookie dough taste, and since there's only ¼ teaspoon in the entire recipe, it barely affects the carb count!
    • Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips - Small bursts of chocolate in the cookie dough recipe.
    • Melted Low-Carb Chocolate - optional, for drizzle

    The sweetener

    For the sweetener, you can choose any keto sweetener you prefer - but it must be powdered! I prefer Besti Powdered Sweeteners, but any brand will work!

    I also recommend adding ¼ tsp. of molasses. Molasses isn't typically considered keto, however, it adds an authentic cookie dough taste, and since there's only ¼ teaspoon in the entire recipe, it barely affects the carb count!

    *Note-As a special gift to my readers, I've teamed up with Besti Sweeteners to give you guys 10% off! Simply use the code "CRAVEABLE" at checkout.

    🥥 The fat: coconut oil or butter

    If you can eat dairy, I would choose to use butter over coconut oil. Butter gives them that classic chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. When choosing which butter to use, I recommend grass-fed.

    Grass-fed butter tastes a million times better and contains vitamin K, anti-inflammatory properties, and has a completely different nutritional profile than regular butter.

    I always recommend splurging on grass-fed butter if you can.

    If you don't eat dairy though, you can substitute your favorite non-dairy butter or use coconut oil.

    If you choose to use refined coconut oil instead of unrefined, it will reduce the coconut aftertaste.

    🔪 Easy instructions

    Be sure you don't try to make 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 these they will not turn out well.

    creaming butter and sweetener

    1. Start by creaming some softened butter (or coconut oil) with the powdered sweetener.

    It's important that the fat is room temperature for the smoothest texture! To get your butter room temperature, I love this tutorial from Sally's Baking Addiction on how to soften butter quickly.

    2. Beat in the dry ingredients.

    This includes the blanched almond flour, sea salt, baking soda (only added for taste), pure vanilla, and blackstrap molasses.

    3. Stir in the chocolate chips. The batter will be crumbly.

    4. Roll into balls and all allow to set. Drizzle with chocolate if desired.

    Roll the batter into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

    Place the fat bombs in the fridge to firm up for about 20 minutes.

    Then, eat them as-is or drizzle them on some chocolate!

    🍫 Chocolate coating

    To melt the chocolate, place ½ cup of low-carb chocolate chips and 2 tsp. butter or coconut oil in a microwavable safe bowl.

    Heat 30 seconds then stir. Then, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted.

    If you prefer not to use a microwave, place the ingredients in a large, heatproof bowl over a small pot of boiling water, being sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water.

    Stir until completely melted then remove from heat.

    With the fat bombs still on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, use a spoon to drizzle on the melted chocolate.

    Then, place them back in the fridge until hardened, around 30 minutes.

    Storage instructions

    If you have leftovers or want to make keto cookie dough fat bombs in advance, they can be stored in the fridge for 1 week.

    They can also be frozen for 1 to 2 months. They can be eaten frozen or thawed at room temperature first.

    💭 Top tips

    • These are egg-free making them keto edible cookie dough that is safe to eat.
    • You can skip the chocolate drizzle if you just want edible chocolate chip cookie dough.
    • If you try to bake these I'm afraid you will be disappointed. These are meant to be eaten raw and will not turn out well if baked.
    • I highly recommend using butter instead of coconut oil, but coconut oil will work if needed.
    • Be sure the butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
    • I highly recommend adding ¼ tsp. of molasses to the keto version. Molasses isn't typically considered keto, however, it adds an authentic cookie dough taste, and since there's only ¼ teaspoon in the entire recipe, it barely affects the carb count!
    • To make these Paleo, see the notes in the recipe card.

      I'm a big bomb fan (fat bomb that is) and being cookie dough covered in chocolate honestly makes it that much more appealing! Can't wait to give these a try!

      These look amazing. I've never used Swerve before since I've been a Stevia gal but lately Stevia has been giving me a headache so I may have to give Swerve a try, thanks.

      these were very yummy! We reduced the sweetener by 1 1/2 tablespoons and used maple syrup in place of honey! Totally hit the spot for cookie dough goodness!
