Low-Carb Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

I’m a big fan of adding cream cheese to keto recipes, which is why you’ll find many such recipes here. Cream cheese works wonders with alternative flours, preventing dryness and adding richness.

It enhances the texture and body of baked goods while providing extra fat, perfect for keto.

Plus, cream cheese adds a unique flavor that makes these cookies stand out.

Fresh from the oven, these bars are soft and tender thanks to the cream cheese. As they cool, they firm up and develop a slightly crispy edge.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need (full printable recipe at the bottom):

• Coconut flour
• Softened unsalted butter
• Softened cream cheese
• Granulated brown sugar substitute
• Eggs, room temperature
• Heavy cream, (just a little to keep moisture)
• Baking powder
• Sea salt
• Sugar-free chocolate chips
• Vanilla extract
• Optional: maple extract, maple extract for a brown sugar flavor if you can’t find a brown sugar substitute

How To Make These Coconut Flour Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

The key is starting with room temperature, softened butter and cream cheese.

Softer ingredients mix more smoothly, ensuring a well-incorporated dough.

I use an electric mixer to beat all the ingredients together since it makes the process so much faster. Of course, you can also make it by hand and get great results too.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13 inch cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.

Next, in a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened butter, cream cheese, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and maple extract (if using) until fully combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is well combined.

Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly browned.

Best Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

For sugar substitutes, I highly recommend Lakanto Monk Fruit-a natural blend of monk fruit and erythritol with zero calories and no glycemic impact.

Their brown sugar substitute works beautifully here, but their white sugar option is great too.

Another favorite is Swerve, an erythritol blend that measures cup-for-cup like sugar and leaves no bitter aftertaste. 

Swerve has a brown sugar option that is quite nice and that I recommend for these cookies, too.

Surkin gold is also a great brown sugar substitute, one I also turn to. What's nice about this brand is that the texture and flavor mimic its high-carb counterpart quite well. 

I know some of you are stevia fans; if that's you, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it's important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it's a much sweeter option. 

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Options

When it comes to choosing which sugar-free chocolate chips to use in this recipe, I personally love Lily's semi-sweet chocolate chips for their decadent chocolate flavor and excellent melting point. 

If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you could also use Lily's dark chocolate chips; either one works beautifully and gives consistent results.

But if you can't get your hands on Lily's chocolate, you can also use Hershey's sugar-free chocolate chips. However, in this case, the chocolate flavor is not rich. 

Another excellent sugar-free option is ChocZero's Dark Chocolate Sugar-free Chips. As you can see, you have several options that will keep the carbs low enough for you to enjoy.

How To Store Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

The use of only natural ingredients means that the cookies should be refrigerated once they cool.

These cookies will harden as they spend time in the fridge, giving them a crunchier texture.

But once they are allowed to come to room temperature again, the cookie softens up slightly.
