These are my best keto gingerbread cookies! They are soft and chewy, and no one will guess that these are sugar-free gingerbread cookies. And no need to tell them. 😉 Make these low carb gingerbread cookies in just 15 minutes prep + baking time. I love to decorate them with a simple sugar-free cream cheese frosting, but they can also be left plain – they are delicious either way. And if you like ginger in your desserts, you’ll also love these keto ginger snaps!
Keto cookies are one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season, but don’t forget about the drinks to go along with them! I love dipping these sugar-free gingerbread cookies in bulletproof tea, keto coffee, or even vanilla almond milk. Or have them before or after your sugar-free eggnog.
This low carb gingerbread cookies recipe was originally published on November 30, 2016 and the post was republished in December 2020 to add updated pictures, useful tips, and some significant improvements to the recipe for almond flour gingerbread men (or women, haha). The original version was my first attempt at cookie cutter cookies! Here is one of the original photos, if you’re curious:
These sugar-free gingerbread cookies use a combination of Wholesome Yum Foods pantry staples: blanched almond flour and Besti brown sugar substitute. These two items make perfect sweet, chewy cookies with the best brown sugar flavor. They taste like the real thing!

How To Make Keto Gingerbread Cookies
This low carb gingerbread cookies recipe is based on my classic almond flour shortbread cookies. But don’t worry, they don’t taste like shortbread.
The addition of egg, spices, and keto brown sugar (as my readers like to call it) totally transforms them into the best keto gingerbread cookies! Here’s how we make them:
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, stir together Wholesome Yum Almond Flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and baking powder.
- Cream butter and sweetener. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat butter and Besti Brown Sweetener until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients. Beat in almond flour mixture until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Chill. Form dough into a ball and chill to make it easier to work with. (You can even freeze it to make it faster if you like!)
- Roll and cut. Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Roll out remaining dough and cut out shapes, using all the dough.
- Bake. They are ready when they are golden on the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet to firm up.
- Frost. You can make keto cream cheese frosting like this, or for the “lazy way”, just heat some cream cheese and add powdered sweetener to taste.
Tips: How To Cut The Best Sugar-Free Gingerbread Cookies
Transferring cookie shapes can be a little challenging, but here are a few tips:
Chill.
This is the most important part. Chilling the dough firms it up so that it’s easier to work with. If it takes you a long time to cut all the shapes, it may soften, so chill again if necessary.
Use an extra thin spatula.
This was my original method when making this recipe for low carb gingerbread. An extra thin spatula like this one makes it easier to transfer the cookie shapes onto your baking sheet.
Reattach.
If you accidentally smush your little gingerbread men, or their arms and legs fall off during transfer), don’t worry. You can just reshape or reattach as needed once they are on the baking sheet.
Worst case, just smash the dough together, roll it out, and try again.
Cut right on the baking sheet.
This was recommended to me by a few readers, and it does work quite well!
Roll out the dough, then transfer the whole thing onto the baking sheet. Use the cookie cutter to make the shapes, then simply remove the parts around the cookies.
From there, you can make a ball out of the parts you removed, roll it out, and repeat again on a second baking sheet.
Skip the shapes altogether.
As fun as it is to frost these low carb gingerbread cookies with faces and cut out shapes, this part is totally optional. These sugar-free gingerbread men are just as delicious if you make them as plain round cookies!
Low Carb Gingerbread Cookies FAQs
What do gingerbread cookies taste like?
Gingerbread cookies are sweet and spicy! They’re a little different than traditional cookies, which makes them extra special.
Are gingerbread cookies keto?
Most gingerbread cookies are not keto as they are made with white sugar and flour.
This sugar-free gingerbread cookies recipe uses almond flour and keto sweetener, making each cookie have just 1.4 net carbs! Compare that to the average gingerbread cookie that contains over 21 grams of net carbs.
What kind of almond flour can I use?
I recommend using super fine almond flour like this for the best texture.
Can I use a different sweetener?
Besti Brown Keto Sweetener is best for cookies like this, to get a nice chewy and soft cookie, and more importantly, for brown sugar flavor.
Check my keto sweetener guide to other sweetener options, but keep in mind that using something else can mess with the consistency of the dough, because Besti Brown is moist like real brown sugar. Even other brands of brown sweetener tend to work differently.
Storage Instructions For Keto Friendly Gingerbread Cookies
Can you make them ahead?
Yes, you can make these cookies ahead, or you can prep the dough ahead and then store the dough ball in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to make the cookies, simply roll out and bake.
How to store them short-term:
Store these easy keto gingerbread cookies in a container for a few days, or they will last for about a week in the refrigerator.
TIP: Make sure not to frost them until right before eating, if you are keeping them out on the counter.
Can you freeze low carb gingerbread cookies?
Yes, you can freeze these cookies for 2-3 months. Make sure that you let them cool completely and freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag, so they don’t stick to each other.

0It sounds great. I have allulose and stevia brown sugar can I blend these bands use instead?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Marge, I allulose and stevia have different sweetness levels so it is very hard to know how much to blend together. I suggest Besti Brown because it bakes and tastes like real brown sugar. If you need it, I suggest using my Sweetener Conversion Chart to know how much sweetener you will need.
Leet
0Can overmixing be an issue with this dough, or not really?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Leet, Overmixing isn’t too much of a concern in this recipe. Mixing more than necessary will create a bit of heat, so don’t skip the refrigeration step before rolling and cutting your cookies out!
Jennifer
0A+ on this one too – gingerbread cookies are not just for Christmas! I used grated fresh ginger for both these and the ginger snap recipe and they were both delicious. The taste of the gingerbread is complex and just a little spicy. It’s also left the house smelling like there’s been an exotic Christmas candle burning! I meant to make icing but we ate them before I got around to it – I’ll have to edit my comment the next time I make these!
My only challenge was in the rolling-and-cutting stage – despite being well-refrigerated, the dough warmed up quickly which made it difficult to separate the cut shapes from the background. So I made the first batch of stars (it was the only shape I had!) and baked them while the rest of the dough re-refrigerated.
If you make these thicker, they’re a little chewier, which is nice; if you make them thinner, they’re more crisp and “snappy,” which is also nice. I treated myself to a whole batch of animal cookie cutter shapes from Amazon which are on the way!
Heather
0I am hoping to make some thick, airy snickerdoodle cookies and similiar ginger cookies. For the ginger ones, do you recommend this recipe and just make them balls that you refrigerate before baking, or do you have another recipe that would be better for this type of cookie (verses a rolled, super thin cookie)?
Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Heather, If you are not wanting to roll out gingerbread men, then you can use this recipe for Ginger Snaps. Here is a recipe for Snickerdoodles too. Enjoy!
Marcia
0These turned out amazing. I used golden sweetener and a spoon of blackstrap molasses for the sweeteners. I also did not roll them out, but instead made balls and slightly flattened them. I baked until set. This made wonderfully chewy and delightfully spiced cookies. The cookies were good on day 1, but they were even better the next day.
Jennifer P
0I tried this recipe and I was really looking forward to it, cause of the good reviews. I followed the recipe exactly (but I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg because I love the flavors) but the dough was dry and I couldn’t really roll it out without it breaking apart. After baking the cookies tasted dry and seemed to have a gritty texture and I’m not sure why. Is that normal with almond flour?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jennifer, Did you refrigerate the dough before rolling and baking? It helps the dough to fully hydrate and become workable. The texture is not exactly like cookies made from wheat flour, but they shouldn’t be overly gritty. For the best results, make sure you are using “fine” or “super fine” ground almond flour and not almond meal.
Heidi Stoll
0(I usually LOVE your recipes but this one not so much.)
Sea salt is not mentioned in the instructions so I missed it. . Maybe that’s why they didn’t taste very flavorful. I thought the dough tasted bland. It was missing molasses or cloves or something too. Not sure.
Sonya Mendoza
0I have allspice, can i substitue that for the cloves, cinnamon, etc?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sonya, Allspice isn’t really a replacement for cloves and cinnamon, but a compliment to it. If you are familiar with using allspice on its own, then it may work fine, as it has similar “warm spice” attributes.
Janice
0My cookies came out great. Recipe worked well. I made mine minnie gingerbread men and made them a bit thicker. I did substitute sugar for monk sugar. For me it could have a bit more flavour but still very yummy and easy to make 🙂
Steve
0Solid recipe. Versatile in that cooking short yields a soft cookie and cooking longer gives you a ginger snap type cookie. Spices are perfectly balanced and the tastes genuine. Happy to have these in the rotation. Merry Christmas!
Nina Doran
0I made this,well I tried to make it. I did everything exactly as the recipe. Chilled the dough,everything. My dough was very moist,seemed like too much butter but can’t tell. I could not lift the cookies off the paper .too gooey. What did I do wrong!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Nina, I am sorry these cookies didn’t turn out well for you. There isn’t a lot of moisture added to make this dough come together, but it does sound like your dough was too wet to use. You can try adding extra almond flour into the dough until you reach a workable consistency. I recommend you check out the video before doing this, so you’ll know what to look for. I hope this helps!
Kristin
0Do these cool hard enough to build a gingerbread house? My husband and I are interested in trying this, acknowledging that it could go terribly, haha!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kristin, I am sorry, these will not harden enough to create a gingerbread house. There are several non-edible recipes online if you are looking to build a gingerbread house.
Nellie Tracy
0Great keto recipe for the holidays! Delicious!
Shadi Hasanzadenemati
0I love that this recipe uses fresh vegetables! Can’t wait to try it!
Nancy Emery
0Hi Maya! I made the gingersnap recipe twice and burnt the cookies both times – you’d think I would learn. I missed the great ginger taste in traditional gingersnaps with molasses. Do you think I could add some molasses and more ginger to these cookies without messing up the ratios? I know it would result in a little more carbs but would be willing to sacrifice if only I could get that spicy ginger taste I love.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Nancy, Yes, feel free to adjust the amount of ginger to your liking. 1 tablespoon of molasses will work, but be prepared to add a scant amount of amount flour if needed to keep the right consistency. Enjoy!
Jean M Manzoor
0Just an FYI, you have salt on the ingredient list but don’t mention it in the steps. I assume it goes in with the other dry ingredients but wanted to point it out.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jean, Yes it goes in with the dry ingredients. Thank you!
Georgianna Wood
0These look great. Since they’re so hard to transfer, can we just leave them on the parchment paper where they are, and slide the cookies AND the parchment onto the cookie sheet?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Georgianna, Yes, that will work fine. Work quickly and that method should work well.
Megan
0I wish they were sweeter. It was a lot of flavor but very little sweetness, so if you aren’t making the icing, add some extra sweetener, especially if you’re baking kids who are used to sweet cookies.
However, I am not much of a baker, and the recipe was very easy to follow. My kids were able to help a lot! I will make them again, but add more sweetener.
Michelle
0Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m featuring some holiday favorites on my blog and have linked to this post (and a few others).
I’ve been keto since the summer and have dropped 40 pounds. I’m struggling with the holidays though. Thank you for providing alternatives!
Deana
0Can you use dairy free vegan butter and egg replacer in this recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Deana, I have not tested this with vegan butter or egg replacer. The recipe should still work fine, as long as the properties of the subs are the same as the original foods.
Jennie Mills
0I have baked a million things, and I have never noticed anything bad with using dairy free butter. No one notices, I also use dairy free whipping cream….same thing! Not a blink from anyone suspecting.
Marilyn
0There was no way I was getting the gingerbread cut out off the mat where I rolled it out so I just made balls and I’m cooking hope they are tasty. Yes they are tasty will definitely make again.
Regano
0I’ve enjoyed your recipes for a while. Love making these cookies. I am diabetic and tend to split hairs on portion sizes, etc. So, when I roll out my special bakes, I use parchment and two plastic dishwasher safe school rulers. Pat the chilled dough into a log shape almost the length of the baking sheet. Place rulers on each long side and roll along the length with the pin resting on both rulers. I get a uniform thickness appropriate for a bakery style cookie with no high or low places. When finished baking, I lift the parchment, with cookies still on it to the cooling area, no breaks!
Laura Wall
0I switched out the Swerve (erythritol), with the brown sugar Swerve, and it was fantastic! I rolled mine into balls, squished them down a bit and baked. They are perfect!
Gaye Miller
0These are good. I will add a little more sweetener next time. I had no problem rolling them out or transferring to cookie sheet. I chilled the dough overnight. I only lost one head! 🙂
Thanks for this recipe!
Kathryn
0These look soooo good and I really want to try them but I am actually allergic to nuts so I can’t use the almond flour. I saw that you said that you wouldn’t recommend coconut flour but since I’m doing a low carb diet I don’t know of another option. If I were to try coconut flour, do you have any recommendations on how to make it actually semi-decent? I just miss having holiday food so I’d love for this to work haha
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Kathryn, This recipe won’t work with coconut flour, sorry. It would require multiple other changes and developing a new recipe entirely. If you can’t have almond flour, I recommend replacing it with sunflower seed flour/meal instead.
Nikke
0I’m trying to add this recipe to my calorie tracker and just a bit confused. This entire recipe is one serving size?? I have a large cutter too so just curious about how many cookies this made?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Nikke, The recipe makes 10 large cookies using the cutter I used (link in the post above!) and one cookie is a serving.
Rita loyd
0I have nut allergy. What gluten free flour can I replace almond with? Would oat flour work?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Rita, I haven’t tried these with oat flour. That would probably work and would be gluten-free, but not low carb. Sunflower seed meal would also work and would be low carb.
Victoria
0Are these cookies soft or crisp? Any tips on how to make this a soft chewy cookie?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Victoria, It depends on how thick you make them. They will be more soft and chewy if they are thicker, more crispy if they are thinner. You can also add a little bit of psyllium husk powder or gelatin powder to make them more chewy (just 1-2 tbsp for the entire batch).
Barbara
0Can I use monk fruit as a sweetener? If so how much ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Barbara, Yes, you can. Check the sweetener conversion calculator here.
Vicky Davis
0What if you cut out the cookies on the parchment that you rolled them on and just remove the dough in between cutouts, instead of transferring? Just transfer the parchment sheet to a baking sheet. IDK
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Vicky, Sure, you can do that too!
Sue
0Do you think this recipe would work with unrefined brown sugar instead of erythritol?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Sue, Yes, but they would not be low carb or sugar-free, if that matters to you.
Jasmine
0For years I’ve been looking for a recipe just to make gingerbread cookies sugar free in general (not for the almond flour or what not) because we in the family have a diabetic and myself, an epileptic who’s seizures are triggered by sugar. When I made this I didn’t use almond flour or the listed sweetener, I went basic with plain flour and Splenda. I found adding 1/2 cup butter made the dough more rich in flavor. But all in all this was terrific and I got to finally try a gingerbread cookie for the first time! Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked them, Jasmine! Thank you!
Star
0If you don’t need the cookies to be super sweet, but want them to be a bit sweet, would 1/4 cup of regular white granulated cane sugar work?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Star, They would not be sugar-free or low carb if you use cane sugar, but from a recipe standpoint it would work.
Carolyn
0Rather than transferring the cutouts to a cookie sheet, roll out the dough on the cookie sheet, make your cutouts and remove the extra dough…just saying
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Sure, you can do it that way, too!
Jen
0Made these this year, was looking for a no-fuss recipe that didn’t require any extra ingredients I wouldn’t use again or didn’t have. They came out perfect! the kids couldn’t even tell they were ‘mom diet food’ as they like to call anything I make low carb. Sometimes the almond flour in cookies can overwhelm the taste for us, these were spiced perfectly to counteract that taste. The dough does seem deceivingly wet, don’t worry! Let it chill and it will be cookie dough consistency soon enough. I even left it in the fridge overnight before baking and it was easy to roll out. Santa was happy to have cookies she could eat left out for her this year 🙂 Thanks again, these get my family’s seal of approval!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Jen! It makes me happy to hear the kids couldn’t tell it was ‘mom diet food’! 🙂
Sherri
0Odd question, my son’s girlfriend is allergic to cinnamon. If I left it out do you think it would still have a great “gingerbread taste”? Or it needs it? Also I have monk fruit/erythritol. Would that work? Does it dissolve or will it be crunchy when cooked?
Thanks,
Sherri
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Sherri, I think they could work without cinnamon, though I haven’t tried. The flavor won’t be the same, of course, but can still be good. You can use a monk fruit/erythritol blend and shouldn’t have any problems with dissolving, but the amount will depend on the blend.
Natalie
0Could I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? What are your thoughts on coconut sugar?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Natalie, coconut flour and almond flour aren’t 1:1 replacements so that wouldn’t work unfortunately. Coconut sugar should be fine, here’s a link to my sweeteners guide for more info: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/natural-low-carb-sweeteners-guide-conversion-chart/
Lydia
0Do you have a recipe for the icing you used? Thanks in advance!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lydia, Yes, just heat some cream cheese until it’s soft and stir in powdered sweetener to taste.
Catherine
0What do you bake the cookies at?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Catherine, The instructions are on the recipe card.
Niki
0Made half the recipe. It smelled just like what I was trying to replace it with. I was so excited. It needed a little more sugar and ginger but it was amazing. Really want to turn it into a bread.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I’m glad you enjoyed these, Niki! You can easily adjust the sweetener and ginger to taste as needed. I need to try a bread version sometime…
Marsha
0Mine didn’t really form a “dough”. It was still very moist, not loose, but moist. Any suggestions? I tried adding more almond flour, but the more I added, it started to change the taste.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Marsha, An almond flour dough will have a different consistency than a traditional dough made with wheat flour. This one is a little moist, but should work fine for the end result. Refrigerating in step 3 ensures that it’s firm enough and not too sticky when you are working with it to make the cookies. It’s a little more challenging to keep it together when transferring the gingerbread men to the pan, but a large, thin spatula can help with that. I wouldn’t add additional almond flour, though. I hope you get the chance to try baking it as is. 🙂
Charlie Gilliam
0Can you use the regular white Besti with molasses instead of the Besti Brown?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Charlie, This is not the same as using Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose, as you will get a different flavor and texture (and macro count) from adding molasses, but it will work in a pinch.
thespeckledpalate
0Umm, these little gingerbread cuties are precious! What a festive way to share the love this season, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas. Everybody lives gingerbread, and I’m definitely going to have to make this recipe for my paleo friends!
Thanks so much for participating in this year’s Sweetest Season! I hope you had a blast and enjoyed seeing all the different recipes shared. There’s so much cookie goodness going on, and it just makes me so happy.
Laura
0Hey there. That seems to be the best recipe I’ve seen so far. But I don’t have erythritol. Can I sub it with anything?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Yes, you can use any sweetener you like. The amount will vary depending on which sweetener you choose (how concentrated it is). Otherwise you can buy erythritol online here (with free shipping).
Christine Pilcher
0Would either confectioner’s style or granular erythritol work for this?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I’ve only tried granular, both either one should work.
Lisa
0You mentioned above that these can be frozen. Would you suggest not icing them before freezing (ice after thawing?)?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Lisa, I suggest frosting after thawing them.
Amanda Hengel
0I am currently dairy free. Do you suppose I could sub coconut oil for the butter?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0It would probably still work, but the texture will be a little different, since beating coconut oil won’t achieve that fluffiness. Softened ghee may work better than coconut oil.
Kim | Low Carb Maven
0These are the cutest. My daughter went nuts when she saw these. She really likes gingerbread men. I agree, low carb cut out cookie dough can be hard to work with, but the cookies are so darn good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
STACEY
0These are really cute!
Georgina
0These just look perfect for the holidays!!
Awesome Mommy
0OMG Love this!
Katrin
0I want the one with the bow in the hair! So cute x
Nicola
0Hi, I was just wondering how long these will last and do you recommend refrigeration or not? I haven’t iced them yet. Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Nicola, They are fine at room temp without icing. If you ice them, store them in the fridge. Even if you don’t ice them, they do last longer if you refrigerate them. (Pretty much the same as any cookies.)
