KETO Chocolate-Chip Cookies-3 WAYS

KETO Chocolate-Chip Cookies-3 WAYS

DSC_0134

Alright guys, let's get into this.

I was trying to come up with a recipe for today and my brain kept switching between wanting to bake something simple like chocolate-chip cookies.. and at the same time wanting to fry something..anything, so I could test a keto batter I'd thought up.

Well, as you can see, I am highly indecisive. Thus, this “test” video was created.

I wanted to see which was the best way to eat chocolate-chip cookie-dough.

And not just any cookie-dough….KETO COOKIE DOUGH. 

Which in-itself is a success and I am very pleased with the outcome.

Anyways, back to the competition.

Which was better?

I froze the dough balls raw(which by the way only contain pasteurized SAFE TO EAT liquid egg whites), I fried them(with multiple attempts using 2 different batters and temperatures) and I baked them the good-old-fashioned way in the oven.

****Drum Roll***

My favourite was the fried dough!

Surprised?

Probably not, everything fried tastes better, let's just be honest.

Plus, I love the flavour coconut oil adds.

But I will let you be the judge. I can't say I was disappointed eating the dough regardless of the baking method used.

I have left the recipe below for the dough, the batter for frying and the instructions to simply bake the cookies.

Note: If you do try the frying method, I strongly advise you to do a few small test balls to check your batter, as all coconut flours are different and the temperature of your fryer or pan will make a difference. I have written the batter recipe using the amounts that I found most success with. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, because the first dough-ball I created was PERFECT (of course I didn't get that one on film). But all the little details really do matter!

-If you are lucky enough to own a fryer, USE IT. Fill it with coconut oil.

-Use enough coconut oil to cover the cookie dough balls if you have it (I didn't).

-Make sure your oil is hot but not TOO hot.

-GOODLUCK.
