How do you curb your biggest dessert cravings without totally ruining your diet? Answer: Make a pistachio, coconut, or chocolate chip sugar-free cookie. And call it a win. That is the kinda diet I am talking about.
Honestly, could dessert ever really get better than all the best cookie flavors rolled into one delicious, healthy treat? In a word, YES.
In many words, you need to bake these sugar-free cookies that are also gluten-free and keto-friendly and you will have the best dessert ever. Ever, ever.
1. Gluten-Free & Keto Oreo Cookies
Just hold it right there. One glance is all it takes to see how unbelievably decadent these cookie sandwiches are. I mean, c’mon. These Oreo lookalikes are completely irresistible.
You have crisp, crunchy dark chocolate cookies hugging a delectable vanilla cream filling. The best part? As sinful as they appear, these cookies are actually sugar-free and gluten-free, with only a single gram of carb each.
How can something this amazing be so wholesome? This is what I call cookie perfection. The only thing missing is someone to pour me a tall glass of milk.
2. Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Three ingredients. That’s it. These peanut butter cookies call for only three things, yet they are mind-blowingly addictive. That sweet and salty flavor combo gets me every time.
It’s wild what peanut butter, a low-carb sweetener, and eggs can create! With this recipe, you just need one bowl and about 20 minutes. You don’t even have to chill the dough first.
Bonus points for being low-carb, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly. And if you swap the egg, they can totally be vegan. Yes, please.
3. Keto Cream Cheese Almond Cookies
Anything involving cream cheese is already a certified winner in my world. These cookies are a perfect example. If you have not yet experienced the magic of cream cheese and almonds together, this is your sign.
These cookies are crazy good! The texture is wonderfully soft. The cream cheese makes them oh so rich and creamy, too. Plus, the crunch from chopped almonds provides a lovely textural contrast that is just *chef’s kiss*.
4. Ultimate Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies
Let’s kick things off with the classic that pops into our heads when someone says “cookies”: chocolate chip. These beauties are crisp on the edges, chewy in the center, and just bursting with decadent chocolate chunks.
They are not only ridiculously tasty but also keto-friendly! What’s the secret sauce? Almond flour and granulated sweetener.
And here is the best news: they are just as simple to make as any traditional chocolate chip cookie. No extra fuss involved just because they are sugar-free. Winning.
5. Keto Lemon Cookies
These are thick and soft, sweet and lemony, and just completely amazing. I am so here for the combo of citrus and sweetness in these cookies.
That contrast between sweet and tangy creates such a fun flavor experience. The butter makes them even richer and more tender.
They are perfect as is, but a little drizzle of icing just takes them over the top. It is so hard to believe they are sugar-free and keto-friendly because they are seriously addictive.
6. Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
Snickerdoodles are just fantastic, but I know what you’re probably thinking: how can you make a sugar-free snickerdoodle? Let me introduce you to my friend, Erythritol.
It’s an organic compound that occurs naturally, made from corn. It has about 60-70% of the sweetness of table sugar but with almost zero calories, and it doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar levels. Pretty awesome, right?
That’s how these snickerdoodle cookies get their iconic flavor and texture while staying completely sugar-free.
7. Coconut Flour Cookies
Coconut plus chocolate equals cookie paradise. This flavor combination deserves so much more love than it gets. I mean, how could anyone not fall for the mash-up of decadent chocolate chips and sweet, nutty coconut?
These cookies are outrageously soft, chewy, and loaded with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chunks in every single bite. Imagine a chewy chocolate chip cookie and a chewy coconut macaroon had a baby.
Doesn’t that sound incredible? I’m already drooling thinking about it.
8. Easy Keto Pistachio Shortbread Cookies
Crispy, soft, and buttery shortbread cookies are dotted with toasted pistachios, creating the absolute perfect bite. Besides the amazing crunch and flavor, I also love how the nuts add a mild green color to the cookies.
Their vibrant hue makes them extra perfect for the holidays. Pair one of these with your favorite coffee or tea for a super satisfying morning or afternoon snack.
9. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I know they might not have as big of a fan club as the beloved chocolate chip. But to all my fellow oatmeal raisin cookie lovers out there, this one is for us.
These cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with sweet raisins in every single bite. I love the unique creaminess that oatmeal provides, something you just can’t get from anything else.
Kissed with a bit of cinnamon, these cookies are a perfect source of warmth and comfort. If you are trying to convert a hater, this is definitely the recipe to use.
10. Cinnamon Sugar Almond Flour Cookies
These almond flour cookies are soft, crispy, and chewy all in one. Now that’s what I call an epic texture trifecta! These cookies are anything but one-note.
The flavor is also completely on point. With a perfect mix of sugar and spice, they truly are everything nice. We have the combination of coconut sugar and cinnamon to thank for that.
11. Keto Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Go ahead, sink your teeth into the goodness of these chocolate crinkles. I am such a sucker for these little treats. These festive goodies look just gorgeous.
And the taste and texture? Phenomenal. They are as sweet and chocolatey as can be. They’re super soft and chewy, and the way the powdered sugar dissolves in your mouth is just divine.
Seriously, these cookies are my weakness. I can’t help myself whenever I see them. It’s a good thing they are both low-carb and sugar-free!
12. Coconut Flour Cookies with Peanut Butter and Chocolate
These are a lot like the previous recipe, but made even more extra with the addition of peanut butter.
So, just to recap, these cookies have a sweet and nutty coconut flour base, are flavored with peanut butter, and are jam-packed with lots of chocolate chips.
They are super soft, pillowy, and downright delicious. If this is what being on the keto diet is like, I might just have to get on board.
13. Sugar-Free “Sugar” Cookies
These sugar cookies are so insanely soft and buttery, they just melt in your mouth. If you’re searching for a homemade Christmas gift to give your friends, your search is over.
These holiday cookies are not just lip-smackingly delicious, but they are also super adorable. All you have to do is shape the dough with your favorite cookie cutters.
They are cute on their own, but you can dress them up with a sugar-free glaze to make them even more festive.
14. Chocolate Cookies
Soft, chewy, and chocolatey: for me, those are the three things that make up a perfect cookie. And that is exactly what these chocolate cookies are.
They satisfy your tastebuds and soothe your heart and soul. The fact that they’re sugar-free, low-carb, and keto-friendly is just a fantastic bonus.
Oh, and they also come together in a snap. It’s so embarrassingly easy; all you need is a bowl and a fork.
15. Low-Carb Almond Crescent Cookies (Gluten-Free)
This version of the classic Italian almond crescent cookies is just as delectable, but not nearly as sinful. They are just as crispy on the outside while being tender and chewy on the inside.
They are made with almond flour, flavored with almond extract, and dotted with slivered almonds on top. Expect that amazing almond goodness to really come through.
They might look super complicated to make, but they actually come together in only 30 minutes. You really can’t ask for anything more!
