Keto Gingersnap Cookies

Keto Recipes > Keto Dessert Recipes

With the holidays coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to start working on some holiday inspired recipes. My first cookie recipe this season is a moist and soft keto gingersnap cookie.

This was the closest I could get to a real tasting gingersnap cookie without adding real molasses. The outside of the cookie looks and feels hard, but when you take a bite you can taste the soft buttery middle. Yum!

I made these cookies smaller in size, and I prefer them that way. If you want a crispier cookie, then you can make them larger. These won’t puff up like softer cookies, so keep that in mind when shaping them.
