FAQs

What is the secret to chewy cookies? ›

Cornstarch helps product soft and thick cookies. Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie. An extra egg yolk increases chewiness. Rolling the cookie dough balls to be tall and lumpy instead of wide and smooth gives the cookies a bakery-style textured thickness.

Cookies may be the perfect serving size and convenient to boot, but a single chocolate chip cookie still has around 10 carbs per serving. This is why keto cookies exist. With just a few ingredient substitutions, you can have cookies that you can enjoy without worrying about counting carbs.

Keto cookies soft-baked to perfection. 1-2 net carbs*. 8g of fat. No added sugar.

Yes, coconut flour is considered to be keto-compliant. It is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, making it a suitable option for those following a ketogenic diet. In fact, it is often used in keto baking and cooking as a substitute for traditional flours, which tend to be higher in carbs.

Most ketogenic diet guidelines recommend limiting your total carbohydrate intake to 15-30 grams or 5%-10% of your total calorie intake a day. Eating more than 50 grams of carbs may disrupt ketosis. With keto diets, however, carb restrictions vary from person to person.

Yes, you can still have it, but it really does need to be in moderation, and you need to stay under your daily carb threshold to ensure you remain in a state of ketosis. For some people, their carb threshold can be as low as 20 - 30 grams.

You can, maybe a slice or two here and there, but you ideally don't want to be eating too much of it. This is because a keto diet involves eating minimal carbs; less than 50g a day. However, a slice of bread contains around 20g of carbs, which is quite a chunk of your daily carbohydrate allocation.

Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.

We recommend one serving (two cookies) per day as your daily snack — although we won't judge if you find yourself reaching for more.

Can we eat popcorn in keto diet? ›

Net carbs are calculated by taking the total grams of carbohydrate in a food and subtracting the amount of fiber. In this case, popcorn contains 6 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving and 1.2 grams of fiber, bringing the net carbs per serving to 4.8 grams. Yes friends, popcorn is indeed a keto food.

It's totally fine and safe to eat up to 6 eggs a day while on the keto diet. You can consume even more eggs per day occasionally, as long as you make sure that you eat your greens, healthy fats and proteins from other sources.

Here are some options: Almond flour: Almond flour is made from ground almonds and is a great low-carb, high-fiber option. It is also gluten-free and has a slightly nutty flavor. Coconut flour: Coconut flour is made from ground coconut meat and is another great low-carb, high-fiber option.

Because honey is a sugar and contains a lot of carbohydrates, eating honey can kick you out of ketosis. On keto, you need to limit carbohydrate consumption in general. For that reason, it's not recommended to consume honey if you are on a keto diet.

The extra egg yolk helps to add more moisture and richness, for a soft and chewy texture. The other trick is found in the size of the dough ball…. a whole 3 tablespoons in each! This creates larger cookies that spread out perfectly with ultra-soft centers.

Hard cookies: you are over mixing, baking too long, baking at too high a temperature, or some combination of these. Cakey cookies: not enough brown sugar, too much or too little egg, too much flour, maybe you used baking powder instead of baking soda?

But, it turns out that margarine or vegetable shortening is the secret to chewy cookies. I still make mine with butter, though.
