Tender cookies laced with and rolled in cinnamon and sweetener, these Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies make the perfect treat for your guests, your family, or just you.  You can serve them on their own, add them to a cookie tray, or pair them with something creamy.  The possibilities abound!

Snickerdoodles never really made much of an appearance on the cookie trays of my childhood.  Fortunately, I’ve made up for that in later life.  I mean cinnamon and “sugar”–one of my favorite combinations of all time.  Have I mentioned how often I make cinnamon toast (keto-fied)?  Usually multiple times a week.  Snickerdoodles are like the cookie-fied version thereof.  

Anyway . . . these Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies are easy to make and absolutely delicious.  While perfect on their own, you could also do what I did and make them as dippers for my Keto Cake Batter Dip or make ice cream sandwiches with them.  I used them for sandwiches with my Chipotle Keto Ice Cream.  

What You Need to Make Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients for making Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • Unsalted Butter (Softened)
  • Swerve Brown – Or you can use another brown sugar substitute like Sukrin Gold.
  • Granulated Erythritol – This will both go into the cookie as well as be used for rolling the cookie balls before baking.  
  • Egg – I almost always use jumbo eggs. 
  • Almond Butter
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon – This will both go into the cookie as well as be used for rolling the cookie balls before baking.
  • Almond Flour – I really do recommend sifting it to make sure you get an even texture. 
  • Unflavored Gelatin
  • Baking Soda – I really do mean baking soda in this case and not baking powder.  
  • Kosher Salt

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer – Or Large Mixing Bowl and Hand Mixer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray and Parchment Paper
  • 2 Silicone Baking Mats
  • 2 Rimmed Baking Sheets – Or other tray that fits in your fridge
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Rubber Scraper
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Getting Started with Making Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies

If you’ve tried several of my other cookie recipes, the method for making these Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies will sound pretty familiar.  As with most baking, I suggest you get your ingredients out and measured before you begin.  

Mixing the Wet Ingredients

We’ll get started by beating ½ cup of softened Unsalted Butter, ½ cup of Swerve Brown (or another Brown Sugar Substitute of your choice), and ½ cup of Granulated Erythritol in a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with an electric mixer.  You’ll want to beat these ingredients until fully incorporated and light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).  

To this mixture, you’ll add 1 Egg, ¼ cup of Almond Butter, 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract, and ½ teaspoon of Cinnamon, mixing after each addition.

Combining the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, you’ll sift 2.25 cups of Almond Flour through a fine mesh sieve.  (Yes, I really do recommend sifting the almond flour for a smoother texture.)  Then you’ll add in 2 tablespoons of Unflavored Gelatin, ½ teaspoon of Baking Soda, and ¼ teaspoon of Kosher Salt and whisk to thoroughly combine.  

Incorporating the Dry Ingredients into the Wet

Next you’ll begin adding the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.  I usually add the dry goods in 4 stages and beat the dough after each addition.  Once everything is combined you should have a cookie dough that you can easily roll into balls.

Rolling and Baking the Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies

Before you start rolling the dough, you can preheat the oven to 325°F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  

The number of cookies you get depends on the size to which you roll them.  I like to use these Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies for ice cream sandwiches, so I make them slightly on the medium to bigger side.  I get 24 cookies when rolling them to about 1.5-inch balls.  To make things easier for my obsessive self, I just keep dividing the dough in half until I get to 24 cookie dough balls.  

To coat the cookies, I suggest using a wide, shallow bowl.  You’ll combine 2 tablespoons of Granulated Erythritol with 2 teaspoons of Cinnamon and mix well.  Then you need to roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon-sweetener mix so that it is thoroughly coated.  

To bake the cookies, you’ll place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently press them down with the heel of your hand.  You’ll bake them at 325°F for 15 minutes or until just golden brown on the bottoms.  

When you remove them from the oven, you should let them cool on the baking sheet for at least the first 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.  This will give them a little time to firm up so that they don’t fall apart when you move them.
