Grain-based desserts are the number one source of calories across all ages in the United States. One of the most popular grain-based desserts is cookies. In fact, the best selling cookie in the world, the Oreo, is one of the most widely consumed foods in America.
This is not surprising when you consider the fact that cookies typically contain so much sugar and fat that it is almost impossible to pass them up. The only problem is that they are not even close to being healthy. Most cookies contain so much sugar and fat and so little protein and fiber that they put you on the fast track to gaining fat.
Fortunately, you don’t have to give up eating cookies altogether. In fact, it is possible to make a cookie healthy using a keto cookie recipe, while still bringing out all of the flavors and textures that we look for in a cookie.
How is this possible? Simply take your average carb-ridden cookie ingredients and replace them with keto-friendly flours and other keto foods. By doing so, you will be able to make a cookie that is deliciously sweet and fulfilling while it enhances your health rather than taking away from it.
To save you the trouble of experimenting with keto ingredients to make low-carb cookies by yourself, we put together this comprehensive recipe roundup of some of our favorite keto cookie recipes. As you read through this article, you will find a low carb cookie for every palate and every occasion. Let’s get started, shall we?

1. Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
Of course, we must start with the all-time favorite, the chocolate chip cookie. Instead of using sugar and all-purpose flour to make these cookies, you’ll be experiencing the beauty of keto-friendly ingredients like erythritol and almond flour.
The erythritol offers a subtle sweetness to these chocolate chip cookies that I enjoy much more than an average cookie. The best part about it is that this sweetener won’t even raise your blood sugar levels! As an added bonus, it will contribute little to no calories to your diet, and it acts as an antioxidant before the body excretes it.
The bulk of these keto cookies will be made of almond flour, one of the healthiest low-carb flours you can use. This flour is so good for us because it provides us with protein, fat, and fiber while being low in net carbs. On top of that, almond flour also will help you meet your needs for vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, and copper. Altogether, these nutrients will help lower your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
There are a couple of other ingredients in these delicious cookies that are worth mentioning as well, but we will dive deeper into their health benefits throughout this article. All you really need to take away from this cookie recipe is that chocolate chip cookies no longer have to be your guilty pleasure. In fact, with this keto recipe, you will be able to indulge in your favorite cookie without any of the guilt.
2. Crisp Meringue Cookies
These sweet meringue cookies are an airy and subtly sweet treat. They are the perfect contrast to the other dense, doughy keto cookies on this list.
The secret to the unique texture of these cookies is best explained by the mixture of egg whites and cream of tartar. After being whipped together, they have perfect consistency for a light and airy result. Plus, the egg whites contain all the essential amino acids you need to support muscle mass and healthy metabolic function throughout the body — but you probably knew this already.
What you may not know is that cream of tartar has some health benefits as well. First of all, it is a great way to add some extra potassium to your diet — a mineral essential for regulating blood pressure, enhancing heart health, and curbing some of the symptoms of the keto flu. Secondly (and most interestingly), cream of tartar has been shown to help detoxify the body from nicotine, making it helpful for those that are trying to kick their smoking habit.
Overall, these cookies may not help you kick your smoking habit completely, but they are a delicious treat nonetheless. They also are easy to customize as well. If you need help meeting your fat requirements for the day, simply whip up some cream cheese, butter, and Swerve into a frosting. Then you can put them together to make keto sandwich cookies.
3. Low Carb Coconut Chip Cookies
These cookies are so rich and delicious that they make the perfect keto dessert. The coconut and cacao nibs add a fantastic crunchy, chewy, texture that many of us love in a cookie.
If you are not sure what cacao nibs are, think of them as unprocessed 100% chocolate. They are bitter and crunchy and are loaded with magnesium, flavonoids, and antioxidants. This is the reason why chocolate is so well known for fighting off health issues like heart disease.
With the cocoa nibs, you’ll be getting a delicious dose of coconut flakes. Along with their coconut taste and texture, they will also give you a good source of fiber, minerals, and healthy fats that make these cookies even more satisfying.
Make sure you don’t forget about the glaze either. It will add a bit more sweetness and extra healthy fats that will make them a special treat that meets your fat intake needs at the same time.
4. Keto Gingersnap Cookies
Even when it isn’t the holiday season, these keto cookies will satisfy your craving for a flavorful dessert. Each gingersnap cookie is hard on the outside and soft and moist on the inside with a subtly sweet and spicy flavor in each bite.
Even if you are not a fan of ginger’s flavor, you may still enjoy these cookies for there medicinal properties. The ginger powder, for example, may help relieve indigestion and constipation, while it also improves overall digestive health.
Alongside the ginger powder, you will be getting some nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon, which all have potent antioxidants that help improve blood sugar levels and decrease inflammation.
To put it in another way, if you weren’t feeling too great after dinner, these cookies might be just what you need to help you go to sleep feeling better than ever. Plus, they are one of the most delicious ways to help you meet your fat intake needs before the end of the day.
5. Keto Amaretti Cookies
These small Italian cookies are something special. Each one is soft and full of nutty and fruity flavors that you rarely find in other low carb cookies.
From a health perspective, my favorite ingredients in these cookies are coconut flour and coconut oil — both of which are keto foods that we all benefit from eating. The coconut flour is packed with so much fiber that it can help you meet your daily fiber needs, which is something that many ketogenic dieters struggle with at first.
Meanwhile, the coconut oil will provide you with a great source of healthy fats like medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are especially important for keto dieters because they are digested easily and go straight to the liver where they are converted into ketones.
In other words, with the coconut oil and flour, these keto Amaretti cookies will improve your digestive health and give you a ketone energy boost at the same time. If you want some more coconutty goodness, fat, and fiber, feel free to sprinkle some unsweetened shredded coconut on top.
6. Keto Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
If our gingersnap cookies don’t fulfill your holiday cookie craving, then these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies will surely be a hit for you and your family. In fact, they are so good that even my other non-keto family members loved them as well (and they had no idea that these cookies had no sugar in them).
The star ingredients in this recipe are the pumpkin puree and liquid stevia. Whenever I can, I make sure to get some pumpkin in my diet during the holiday season. It is so rich in fiber, vitamin A, and health-promoting carotenoids that it wouldn’t be smart to pass up on the opportunity to have some pumpkin.
To add more sweetness to the subtly sweet pumpkin, you’ll be using liquid stevia. Not only is stevia super sweet and calorie-free, but it also has many health-promoting properties as well. For example, stevia has been found to help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and it may even help prevent heart disease. All of a sudden, sugar seems completely unnecessary, right?
The best part is that you’ll never need to eat sugar to satisfy your sweet tooth again with these keto cookies — especially when you try these Keto Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies.
7. Keto Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cookies
There is something about the combination of coconut, chocolate, and vanilla that make for an amazing flavor experience, and you’ll know exactly what I am talking about when you try these cookies.
Plus, you will also be able to get the MCTs and the fiber from the coconut flour, coconut oil, and coconut flakes and the flavonoids and antioxidants from the cocoa powder that we spoke of earlier in this article.
However, in my opinion, the real health superheroes in these cookies are the eggs. Each egg will provide you with an excellent source of vitamins B12, B5, B2, and A, selenium, zinc, healthy fats, complete protein, eye-protecting antioxidants, and choline (a lesser-known nutrient that helps support cognitive function). In fact, eggs have even be called “the perfect food” by health specialists because they contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need.
Perhaps, these keto cookies may be “perfect” as well with there hard and crunchy texture on the outside and soft and moist inside. Each bite will truly be a wonderful experience for your taste buds and your health.
8. Keto Buckeye Cookies
Want a little something special for dessert? Try these keto buckeye cookies. These things are absolutely delicious and completely satisfying.
What sets these apart from the other keto cookies on this list is the fact that they have a melty chocolate core and, my all-time favorite, peanut butter.
Not only is peanut butter satisfying, but it is healthy as well (at least, the natural sugar-free varieties of peanut butter are healthy).
Each tablespoon of peanut butter will provide you with extra vitamin E, B vitamins, and minerals. It is also an excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which help decrease LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol, protecting us from heart disease.
Overall, the peanut butter and chocolate make these cookies one of my favorites, while the nutrients and antioxidants that they contain make them one of my favorite cookies from a health perspective as well.
9. Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
These are sort of like the keto pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies but without the pumpkin. They have a slightly different flavor, but are super delectable in their own way.
The combination of the keto-friendly maple syrup and vanilla are really what make these cookies next level delicious.
The maple syrup also adds some extra MCTs to the cookie to provide you with a ketone boost, while the vanilla acts to calm inflammation and subtly improve your mood.
To add a little something extra to these keto cookies, consider blending up some macadamia nuts and mixing them into the dough. They will make these cookies much more satisfying while providing you with an excellent source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids at the same time.
10. Low Carb Vanilla Latte Cookies
I can’t wait to make these again. They are crunchy at the edges, soft in the middle, and combine the decadent flavors of coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon flawlessly. Plus, it’s filled with a ton of one of our favorite keto ingredients — butter.
The best part about butter is that it gives you almost all of the healthy components of milk without any of the protein or milk sugar. For example, each tablespoon of butter contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, E, and K2, which all have powerful effects on our health from helping us fight off cancer to preventing osteoporosis.
You will also get plenty of healthy fats like conjugated linoleic acid and butyrate which are helpful for anyone that is trying to lose weight.
Along with the butter, you will also be getting a good dose of coffee grounds, which will boost your mood, improve cognitive function, and help you burn some extra body fat.
In other words, by eating these keto cookies, you can help yourself lose fat. I know this sounds absolutely crazy for a cookie, but it is possible when you use these keto ingredients.
Bonus: Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
You already know how to delicious cookies are and how satisfying peanut butter is, but have you had a peanut butter cookie? It is exactly as tasty and fulfilling as you think.
Not only will you be getting all of the health benefits and nutrients from peanut butter that we spoke of earlier, but you will also be able to sneak in some flaxseed meal as well. Flaxseeds are worth mentioning because they are fiber and fat-packed little seeds that have been found to have a variety of health benefits.
For example, research has found that the lignans in flaxseeds may be able to prevent cancer, but the effects that they have on humans remains unclear.
What is clear about flaxseeds, however, is that the lignans and fibers in these seeds help to improve digestive health and feed friendly gut bacteria. This translates to better overall health in the long run.
If you want to take these keto cookies to the next level, try adding some keto-friendly chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate, or cocoa nibs. They will add an extra health boost with there delicious chocolatey taste. Plus, you can’t go wrong when you combine chocolate and peanut butter.
How To Use These Low Carb Cookies to Meet Your Macros on The Ketogenic Diet
With these low-carb cookies, you’ll be able to satisfy your sweet tooth while you get plenty of fats and fiber. They truly are one of the best keto desserts.
It is crucial to understand, however, that you can’t just eat them without any limitations. Even though they are low-carb, keto-friendly, and healthy, these cookies should always be eaten in the context of your daily calorie goals.
To find out how many calories, fats, protein, and carbs you should eat to get the results you want, plug your information into our keto calculator.
We also recommend tracking your calories and carbs for the first couple of weeks, so that you know how much you are actually eating, and if you are eating too much or too little. The easiest way to do this is with a calorie tracking app like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer. We put together a guide on how to use these apps to help you get started with calorie and carb tracking on keto.
By using these two tools, you’ll be able to figure out if that extra cookie may impair your weight loss results or if it will help you stay on track. Simply use the calorie breakdowns at the end of each cookie recipe to guide you. On the nights when dinner just doesn’t have enough fat and calories, feel free to indulge in as many keto cookies as you need to meet your goals.
However, you may find that adding a couple of cookies may not be enough to help you meet your macros. Your favorite cookie, for example, just may have too many carbs and not enough fat to justify eating 3 or 4 of them.
So, what should you do when eating a couple of cookies won’t be good enough? Customize them a bit.
If you want to add more fat to your cookies:
- Melt butter on top of them
- Spread cream cheese or mascarpone cheese on them
- Blend up some high-fat nuts (like macadamias or pecans) and fold them into the dough
- Make some cream cheese frosting for them (you can find recipes for high-fat keto frosting, here and here.)
- Make a cookie sandwich with cream cheese frosting or keto sandwich cake frosting.
- Add a dollop of heavy whipped cream or coconut cream on top
- Try having it with a keto condiment like Low Carb Blackberry Chipotle Jam, Thick and Sticky Maple Syrup, or Keto Friendly Bacon Jam.
If you want to add fat and protein:
- Mix crushed high-protein nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, and pistachios) into the batter or sprinkle them on top
- Spread peanut butter on top
- Top it with some crushed bacon, low carb candied bacon, or Keto Friendly Bacon Jam
- Top it with high-protein nut or seed butter
- Make a nut or seed butter cookie sandwich
Before you upgrade your cookies, make sure they will fit into your keto diet. Some of these suggestions will add some extra net carbs, so track the changes you make diligently.
Putting it All Together — The Best Low Carb Cookie Recipes for The Ketogenic Diet
Cookies can be healthy. All you have to do is replace the processed carb-ridden ingredients with keto-friendly foods.
Instead of all-purpose flour, use keto flours like almond flour, coconut flour, and flaxseed meal, and rather than sugar, use some keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia and erythritol. The end result will be a cookie that is filled with healthy fats, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The best part is that each one will have almost no carbs compared to their common cookie counterparts.
It is important to remember, however, that keto baking is just like normal baking. One false move or faulty ingredient, and you may end up with something that vaguely resembles a cookie in appearance and taste.
To get you started with keto baking and low-carb cookie making, try out these delicious keto cookie recipes first:
- Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Crisp Meringue Cookies
- Low Carb Coconut Chip Cookies
- Keto Gingersnap Cookies
- Keto Amaretti Cookies
- Keto Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
- Keto Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cookies
- Keto Buckeye Cookies
- Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
- Low Carb Vanilla Latte Cookies
- Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
But before you indulge, remember always to be mindful of how many calories and carbs you are adding to your diet by eating these low-carb cookies. Although these cookies are healthier and more filling than the average cookie, it is still possible to eat so many of them that it causes you to gain weight. One or two cookies is usually enough to keep you on track and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Once you get the hang of baking keto cookies, try making your own variations and let us know if you create something that goes above and beyond the cookie recipes on this list.

Thank you for this godsend! My boyfriend and I just went keto at the start of the year, and the change has been a little hard on him. Peanut butter cookies are his favorite, so I decided to bake these for him and his carb craving was totally satisfied. One question–how long do these cookies (or any baked, low-carb, sugar-free goods) last before they go bad?
Marcy (hope you don’t mind that),
I have had a batch (non refrigerated) sitting in my cupboard for a week and a few days now and I still have some left. I think they’d last a while, around 2 weeks. If you don’t want to push it too much, you can freeze half or half the recipe next time 🙂
Glad you liked them though!
Can you substitute the coconut flour in this for almond flour, protein powder, or casein?
Eric,
You may be able to sub in protein powder for the coconut flour. Usually protein powder is pretty absorptive and gives similar consistencies
Just made these. Very dry and gritty.
Any suggestions?
Emi, you could try baking them for less time. Normally when you bake them for a little less time they’ll get a bit more moist. Normally if I find something’s dry, I leave it out in a tupperware on the counter overnight and it seems to pick up a bit more moisture the second day. Hope that helps!
Hi there, Can you use coconut sugar in these while on keto?
Jimmie,
Coconut sugar has quite a lot of carbs in it so it’s not really advised to use. You’d have to use such a small quantity that you’d not get much sweetness out of it.
Hi Craig, I just made these and they are awesome! Satisfies a need for a treat once in a while without all the flour and sugar. I can enjoy a few and not turn on the out of control sugar cravings that usually happen with regular cookies. I made one tweak because I’m kind of tired of flaxseed, so I used almond flour for half of the flaxseed and they turned out great! Another good recipe, Craig! Maybe you will have your own TV show soon!
Haha thanks Carol, maybe in 5 years 😛 I think I’m going to experiment with using chia seeds to make cookies next. Great omega 3’s in them so I’m curious as to how a cookie would come out.
Hi Craig,
Could you use xylitol instead of erythritol?
Hey Rose, I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t!
I don’t have any flax, can i use almond flour or meal? Thanks!
Almond flour should work 🙂
These are GREAT! I just made them, but sadly was too impatient with the butter and with it melted as much as it was, they weren’t very clean circles. They’re still delicious, though!
I’ll go for something in your recipe book next time, but I had to make ’em! 😀
Glad you liked them! I need to make some more sometime because I haven’t had PB cookies in a long time 🙂
I just tried these and they are dry (which I sure can be remedied with shorter bake times) and not very sweet. I used Truvia. Is that the reason?
Serious carb craving quenched either way!
Yeah Andrea, the bake times will definitely help with the dryness. If you’re new to keto then the Truvia amount may need to be increased for you to taste the sweetness. Normally the longer you’re on keto, the sweeter things taste.
These are the bomb…..love them
Glad to hear it Macine!
I love these, they are delicious!
Thanks Melanie! Glad you liked them 🙂
I used these as a base for making keto whippets. I made keto marshmallow patties and a peanut butter cacao ganache, sandwiched them together and drenched them in a cacao coating. I lost my shizz, man. they were amazing!
That sounds awesome – I’m really glad to hear they served a purpose in your recipe!
hi there, making these now. Very excited! I was wondering if you had tried these with almond flour. Also wondering why you didn’t include your 1/3 Cup Erythritol in your macros?
I made these for the second time, yesterday. The first time, they were excellent. Second time, too cakey. I think I should have flattened them more. The save: Bittersweet ganache made with heavy cream and erythritol and liquid stevia; homemade whipped cream. Place a cookie on a plate; put a dollop of peanut butter, followed by a tablespoon of the chocolate ganache and topped with another dollop of whipped cream. Yum.
Can psyllium husk be used as a 1:1 substitute for flaxseed?
Unfortunately not Heather. Psyllium is MUCH more absorptive than flaxseed meal. I’d say try a 1/4 ratio to start if you’re dead set on using psyllium. Keep in mind that the flavor will be changed and the total amount of cookies yielded will decrease.
I made these last night and they are delicious. My non-keto roommate loved them too.
Awesome to hear it – it’s a super easy recipe!
Yum! I am about a month in on my first experience with keto. I loved these! I used coconut oil instead of butter and ground chia seeds instead of flax. These are going in to the rotation for sure. Thanks so much!!
Glad to hear it and I’m really sorry for the late reply. I was in the middle of 2 cross country moves. Hope you still make them and love them 🙂
Would these be possible to make with chunky peanut butter?
Would these be possible to make with chunky peanut butter?
Yep – you definitely could!
I went ahead with it (I’m now for them to cool!) 🙂
Why do you use the flax seed? Is it a binder like gluten? If so, could you substitute xantham gum?
It’s a binder but it doesn’t act the same way gluten does. You could use xanthan but it might be a strange texture if you use enough to keep the cookies together.
Can I use ground flax seed in place of the flax seed meal?
I can’t tell you how many versions of LCHF peanut butter cookies I’ve made – and these are the best… with a couple of tweaks. One is that I added 4 drops of stevia to mine because I thought they needed just a bit more sweetness. I also sprinkled (heavily, because I love it) cinnamon on top with the erythritol. HEAVEN! I like my frozen because they were a bit too soft for me. Really nice recipe. Thank you!
I’m glad you liked them! Thanks for the tips.
If you don’t have flax, what do you use to substitute? Almond flour? How much?
I think almond flour would work great, but the cookies will be higher carb than with the flax.
Can the flaxseed be eliminated all together? Is the coconut flour enough?
Thanks!
It’s not extremely simple to replace flours from 1 to the other. It’s possible, but may lead to a different taste or texture than what was originally anticipated in the recipe. Feel free to check over our flour substitution post here: https://www.ruled.me/keto-flour-substitutions/
Can I leave out the heavy cream or replace it with almond milk?
Sure!
Out of interest, how long are you able to store the cookies in your refrigerator for? I love making keto cookies but I usually only have one every other day or so, and so storage becomes an issue. I guess you could halve the recipe and make a smaller batch. Love the recipes. Thanks.
They should be good for at least a week, you could also try freezing some of the dough and baking up as needed. 🙂
Thanks Laura. I’m not sure they’ll last a week as they are fantastically tasty cookies 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! These cookies have the best flavor of any Keto cookies I’ve made. I followed the recipe exactly but mine were a little dry. I baked them at 350 for 15 minutes but I’m thinking my oven might run a little too hot. I will definitely be using this recipe going forward on a regular basis.
Happy to hear! Yes, it may need a few less minutes in your oven – you can always adjust the time to get the consistency/texture you’re after 🙂
I just made these for a family event, and they were a big HIT! I did make a couple of minor modifications that I don’t think affected the basic results. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla and a drizzle of molasses (I know, not keto, but I was willing to risk a tiny cheat for the “brown sugar” flavor). I also didn’t have any HWC (how did that happen???) so I used some ricotta cheese I had on hand. If anything, the ricotta probably made the final result a little softer, but still delicious!
A helpful hint for anyone who wants the traditional criss-cross: Dip your fork in water in between pressing each cookie, and drag the fork across the width after the press, rather than picking it straight up. Perfect!
Sounds like some awesome additions – glad to hear it came out with ricotta. I’m sure it added a really creamy texture to the cookies. Glad to hear everyone enjoyed them!
i used the almond butter variance and added cocoa powder. Chocolate Almond cookies …. were delish
