Crispy on the outside, tender and slightly chewy on the inside, these low carb snickerdoodles are everything you love about a great keto cookie! The toasty coating of cinnamon & sweetener makes these keto snickerdoodle cookies simply perfect with a cup of coffee!
Cookies are my absolute favorite sweet treat. Mostly because I like their portability, built in portion control (unless you eat all of them… not that I’d know from experience ?,) and the fact that you can eat multiple keto cookies of different kinds without committing to one large dessert.
As a person who likes to try a bite of everything, low carb cookies are my dessert go-to.
Last year I put together a collection of 30 of my favorite low carb cookie recipes, and now I’m adding a few more to the blog for you to try – starting with these low carb snickerdoodles!
Like all of my favorite low carb cookie recipes, these are pretty easy to make! A bonus because when I start thinking I could go for a cookie, I like to be eating said keto cookie within 30 minutes or less. ???
To make these keto snickerdoodle cookies, all you need to do is mix up your ingredients, roll the cookies into balls and dip in the cinnamon and sweetener mixture, then flatten slightly and bake for 15 minutes. Mission accomplished! ?
Toasty, cinnamon-y, cookie perfection. Believe it.
I tried freezing these low carb snickerdoodles to see how they would hold up and they were just as good if not better than before I’d frozen them. They keep perfectly at room temperature in a sealed container for up to four days (that’s how long ours lasted.)
The inside texture of the cookies got a little chewier every day, while the outside stayed toasty and crisp – it was awesome!
I implore you to make these keto snickerdoodle cookies ASAP, and then report back as to what you thought of them! I have a feeling that once you try them, you’ll be making them over and over again like I have!

These were great. I’ve lowcarbed for a decade and cookies rarely are worth making in my experience. I default to bar/brownie types of recipes, or cakes, etc. I thought these were awesome! I used confectioners swerve with the cinnamon as the topping (but granular erythritol in cookie itself). I’m baking extras for my diabetic neighbor.

Honestly these cookies turned out amazing! Actually I’ve been trying so many new low carb recipes and this is the first cookie that actually tastes like a cookie! LOL. Most are so dense and thick. I am so happy with this recipe. So light and crispy – love love. I wish I could find more recipes like this. Thank you

Sonya Morris says
These look delicious! I have cut out almost all of my sugar and flour hoping to curb some crazy headaches! The only problem is I still have a sweet tooth and would love a cookie!
Linda says
Just finishing up week one of your daily meal plan and am down 6 pounds! My family is super supportive, but worried that we’d have to go without cookies this holiday season. Snickerdoodles are our favorite, so I’ll say in advance, thanks for saving Christmas!
Vivian says
Delicious! My Granddaughter and I loved them! Easy, peasy, too!! Thanks!
Liz says
This recipe popped up on my Google now feed and I was so excited because I already had everything on hand! I told hubby I was making cookies and less than 10 minutes later I had these in the oven. We’ve been together 9 years and I had no idea hubby”s favorite cookies are snickerdoodles. I haven’t seen his face light up like that ever when he realized what I was making. Thank you so much for the keto friendly recipe! So easy and yummy!
Tiffani says
I just made these. They were delicious! I actually forgot they were keto friendly for a minute there. They taste just as good as regular snickerdoodles!
Tammy S says

Vivian says
Can’t wait to try them. They look yummy!! I never thought of using anything other than the brand of almond flour I use (a popular one) but if this is cheaper…. I’m in! lol I plan to try it! Thanks so much for the recipe.
