The holiday season is coming up, are you ready to do some low carb baking? The holidays are coming - here are 20+ of the best keto cookie recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth ... without spiking your blood sugar!
The hardest part of such a restrictive diet is the feeling of deprivation, after all... and the easiest way to not feel deprived is to indulge in keto desserts as needed!
So, I spent a bunch of time playing around with low carb sweeteners, learning the differences between the various sugar substitutes.
I learned that monk fruit and allulose are my favourite keto sweeteners, and that I was not really a fan of one of the most popular sugar-free sweetener options (erythritol)
I already knew about xanthan gum from my years of gluten free baking, but had to experiment with different ingredients to come up with a substitute for all purpose flour.
Usually, this means a mix of super fine almond flour, coconut flour, and protein powder -simple ingredients, and a great tasting mix that behaves well in cookie recipes!
Keto Holiday Baking!
Anyway - with the holiday season quickly approaching - I decided that it was about time to compile all of my best keto cookie recipes into one spot.
Each of these low carb cookie recipes are almost as good as regular cookies, just with a FRACTION of the net carbs.
One bonus about using low carb ingredients is that these cookies are generally healthier than the real thing, even beyond the carb count.
Because we skip the wheat flour - which isn’t super nutritional on its own - it opens the door for making cookies that are higher protein, with a better nutritional profile in general.
Don’t let that thought take the fun out of it, though. This is a nice, varied selection of easy keto cookies.
You’ll find recipes for some of the best keto chocolate chip cookies (When it comes to sugar-free chocolate chips, I like Lily’s Chocolate Chips), some traditional peanut butter cookies...
... and even some more wild options, like frosted keto gingerbread cookies, sugar-free rolled sugar cookies, thumbprint cookies, and more!
So, next time you’re planning a holiday dessert table - or have a low carb loved one to bake for - look no further - There are plenty of options here to fill out an entire dessert table - and even those who aren’t keeping keto will love them!
