Cinnamon Spice Cookies | Low Carb & Keto

The Backstory

These Cinnamon Spice Cookies are exactly what you need in your life. They’re low carb, keto friendly cookies that have less than 2 net carbs per serving😌. I barely ever make keto desserts. I rarely make keto desserts because I feel like they’re just not as good as the real thing. If you don’t already know, I’m an avid baker. I bake a lot, and not too long ago I was in my kitchen at the late hours of the night, making snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies, just because I wanted to. So now that I’ve changed my lifestyle, when you tell me that I should make a “fat bomb” or a no-bake cookie, my face looks a lot like this:

The texture and taste of these Cinnamon Spice Cookies are ideal. They’re not crumbly, they’re not soft and mushy, and they stay firm (yet soft on the inside) overnight and throughout the day! I’m a huge fan of low effort recipes in general, and this is literally a two bowl ordeal. You can actually make it in about 20 minutes.

This recipe calls for 2 different types of sweetener; Erythritol (I get mine from Bulk Barn, it’s an erythritol-monkfruit blend) and liquid Stevia (I use this one), which I got from Walmart. If you have experience with Erythritol, you’ll know that sometimes it can create a cooling sensation in your mouth. If you can get past that feeling, these Cinnamon Spice Cookies will be perfect for you.

Tips for Success

For these Low-Carb Cinnamon Spice Cookies, the cooling process is just as important as the baking process. This concept is pretty well understood in the baking community but for those who don’t bake as often, this is a major key🗝. Bake these for 20 minutes, as listed in the recipe. They should come out of the oven with a slightly soft top. I bake the majority of my baked goods on the bottom rack so they can cook through and the tops don’t burn. After baking for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Honourable Mention:

I was inspired to make this recipe for these Cinnamon Spice Cookies by the Keto Connect chocolate chip cookie recipe and because I didn’t have keto friendly dark chocolate, I decided to improvise. I needed a sweet snack and sugar-free jello was not going to do it for me. Go check them out for more keto friendly recipes! They’re a great source of information for newbies and pros alike!
