Hippity hop, friends! The Easter bunny is on his way and he wants you to make these delicious Cookie Dough Easter Eggs. And you won’t mind one little bit when you see how easy they are to make.
Who doesn’t love really good keto chocolate chip cookies? And who doesn’t love sneaking bits of the raw dough? Well this recipe is all about keto egg-free cookie dough enrobed in a sugar-free dark chocolate shell.
Because these Easter treats are small, you want to choose chips that are on the small side.

Eggs
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, collagen,and salt. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Roll into 1 ½ inch balls, then form into low egg-shaped ovals. If you find your dough a bit too crumbly to form, stir in 1 tablespoon of water.
4. Place the eggs on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Chocolate Coating
1. In a heat proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, combine the dark chocolate and cocoa butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
2. Working with one egg at a time, dip each into the melted chocolate and toss to coat. Lift out with a fork and tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place back on the waxed paper lined baking sheet.
3. If using sprinkles, sprinkle on the eggs right after dipping, before the chocolate sets. Then refrigerate until firm
4. For white chocolate drizzle, place the white chocolate in another heat proof bowl and set over the warm pan to melt, stirring constantly.
5. Place the melted chocolate in a ziploc baggie with the very corner snipped off to pipe it over the truffles. Then refrigerate until firm.
No, coconut flour won’t work in this recipe. Try using some sunflower seed flour instead, as it’s a much better replacement for almond flour.
What can I use in place of the collagen?Grassfed collagen helps this keto cookie dough become more cohesive and adds healthy proteins without adding carbs. But if you prefer not to used it, add another ¼ cup of almond flour.
How do you store keto cookie dough eggs?Nothing in these eggs will spoils so you can store them on the counter in an airtight container for up to a week.
If you live in a very hot environment, however, store them in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting. They can last in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.
The eggs also freezer very well, both before and after dipping in chocolate. As always, keep them tightly wrapped up to avoid freezer burn.
