Keto Ferrero Rocher Cookies

Keto Ferrero Rocher Cookies

We’re not saying this is a recipe for keto Ferrero, but it kind of is! These fudgy chocolate hazelnut cookies are deliciously crunchy and smooth, and they’re super low carb, so you can enjoy them guilt-free.

Lots of butter, almond flour, cocoa powder, an egg, erythritol (or your favorite sweetener) and a pinch of baking soda is all you need. We’re also making a chocolate ganache in the microwave to decorate the cookies!

What You’ll Need

For this recipe, you’ll need lots of hazelnuts, 1 cup to be precise, and you can toast and peel them or leave them as-is. 

You’ll also need erythritol or your preferred zero-calorie sweetener. If you use something other than erythritol, just adjust the sweetness. Remember, not all sugar substitutes are equally sweet!

Make sure you have some almond flour in hand, it gives body to the cookies, and you can also use coconut flour if that’s what you have in your pantry. 

Finally, a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder will give the cookies a lovely color and a chocolatey feel.

Hazelnuts are Just the Beginning.

As fancy as these cookies are, they’re only made with a few everyday ingredients, so they’re the best of both worlds: they’re easy and delicious! Using few ingredients also means there are many ways of enhancing them. Here is our most exciting variation.

Just because hazelnuts have become the most famous nuts this type of cookies, that doesn’t mean we can’t make them with any other nut with fantastic results! Forget about hazelnuts; once you see what you can do with almonds, cashews and walnuts, you’ll never look back! That means you can make almond chocolate cookies, and you can call them any way you want!
