We were in the mood to make cookies, but I wanted something that was “extra” special, and using ChocZero chocolate hazelnut spread was perfect. It gave the cookies that boost of flavor that I was craving. The spread is thick and spreads beautifully, so it’s the ideal topping. And these keto Nutella cookies weren’t just a hit in my eyes; the family gobbled up every last crumb.

- Coconut Flour - try my keto shortbread cookies if you love coconut and almond flour together.

How to Make Keto Nutella Cookies
These keto cookies are an incredible after-dinner dessert. They are also fantastic for gifts or taking to potlucks too.
Step One: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step Two: Mix together the butter, almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, gelatin, and vanilla in a food processor. Process the dough until you have uniformed cookie dough. This might take 2-3 minutes on high speed.
Step Three: Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to make 10 cookies and place them on the baking sheet. Use your thumb or a teaspoon to press down in the center to make a small well.
Step Four: Bake the cookies until they are lightly golden brown on the edges, for 12-15 minutes. Allow them to cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
Step Five: While the keto cookies are cooling, start melting the chocolate squares in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the chocolate for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
Step Six: Place 1 teaspoon of the keto chocolate hazelnut spread to each cookie and spread it, so it’s smooth. Carefully drizzle melted chocolate all over the cookies.
Can You Eat Nutella While Eating Keto?
No, regular Nutella is loaded with sugars and carbs. If you eat low carb, you need to steer clear of it for sure. Instead, using this ChocZero spread, you will have similar results without the worry of carbs and sugars.
How Do You Store Keto Nutella Cookies?
As always, the cookies need to be kept in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. They should be placed in a single layer, so they don’t stick to each other. The cookies can be kept at room temperature and should always be away from heat, sunlight, or steam.
Can I Double This Recipe?
Of course! It’s easy to make a larger batch if you are feeding several people. You’ll find in my printable recipe card that you can adjust the number of servings. Then it will conveniently adjust the amount for each ingredient. Print it off, and you have it ready to go to make these delicious keto Nutella cookies.
Why Do I Need To Use Cold Butter?
Using cold butter is important to ensure these cookies are the right texture. They will be more crispy and tasty from using cold butter. While other cookie recipes do better with room temperature butter, these are perfect with cold butter.
Can I Add Nuts?
Yep! Crush your favorite nuts and sprinkle them on top of the cookies. They will get a nice crunch and taste great with nuts. Crushed almonds or hazelnut are my favorites, but any would work well.
