Your holiday cookie list won’t be complete without this keto snickerdoodle cookie recipe! Snickerdoodles are a beloved cookie and it’s easy to see why. They are mild in flavor with the right amount of sweetness and a touch of cinnamon. What’s not to love? Well… the carbs and sugar, for starters. Which is why I needed to come up with some low carb snickerdoodles. We shouldn’t have to miss out!

So, I mimicked the classic style and flavors, and ended up with what I think are the best keto snickerdoodle cookies! Try them out anytime of year (because there is no wrong time for keto snickerdoodle cookies!), but especially during the holidays. It’s a must!

What Are Snickerdoodles?

Snickerdoodles are essentially a sugar cookie that’s been rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture before baking. They are sweet and cinnamon-y and considered a classic! They aren’t a strictly holiday cookie, but many people make them during the holidays.

These low carb snickerdoodle cookies are made with the same concept – except we’ve made them low carb and keto! Instead of using sugar, we’re using a keto and low carb sweetener, and instead of flour, we’re using almond flour. It still tastes like your favorite cookie, but in a healthier package.

How To Make Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies

This keto snickerdoodle cookie recipe is an easy one, which is convenient because you can make them whenever your snickerdoodle keto cookie craving strikes!

Let me show you how to make keto snickerdoodle cookies with almond flour:

• Mix together low carb snickerdoodles dough. Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sweetener together until fluffy.

TIP: Using a golden sweetener gives the cookies a brown-sugar-like flavor, but you can use regular granulated if that’s all you have.

• Add remaining ingredients. Beat in the cinnamon, xanthan gum, and baking powder. When combined, beat in the egg and vanilla.

TIP: The xanthan gum makes the cookies soft and chewy! If you prefer to avoid it, try a tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder instead.

• Add almond flour. Beat in the almond flour 1/2 cup at a time. The cookie dough will be a bit crumbly, like this:

• Mix together coating. In a small bowl, stir together sweetener blend and cinnamon.
• Form cookies. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough. Release and roll the snickerdoodle cookie dough balls into the cinnamon coating.
• Place cookies on baking sheet. After they’ve gotten a roll in the cinnamon coating, place them on a prepared cookie sheet and lightly flatten using the palm of your hand.

TIP: The cookies won’t spread much, so you’ll need to flatten them to the thickness you want before baking. They can form cracks on the edges as you flatten them, which is totally fine!

• Bake. Bake the cookies until golden. Cool completely before removing them from the pan!

Carbs In Snickerdoodle Cookies

Traditional snickerdoodle cookies have about 13 grams carbs, and most of that is sugar!

In my sugar free snickerdoodles? Only 3 grams net carbs!

The full nutrition stats can be found below the recipe card, but these snickerdoodle carbs are low, making them perfect for your low carb and/or keto lifestyle.

How To Store Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies

This keto snickerdoodle cookie recipe can be stored at room temperature, or in the freezer.

Once the cookies have baked and cooled completely, you can transfer them to an airtight container. They’ll last for 5 days (if you’re lucky!) on the counter, though mine rarely last that long!

Can You Freeze Low Carb Snickerdoodles?

Yes, you can freeze snickerdoodle keto coookies! In fact, I like to have some in the freezer for whenever a sweet treat craving strikes or for a post-dinner dessert that’s ready at any moment.

Store them in an airtight container or zip lock freezer bag for 2-3 months in the freezer.
