    Preparation and cooking overview

    You can whip up a batch of keto-friendly skillet cookies in just half an hour. It's as easy as mixing melted butter, egg, vanilla, and brown erythritol, then adding almond flour, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking powder. Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a greased skillet and pop it in the oven until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Chef's note

    When it's time to dig into your delicious cookie, don't forget to top it off with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream. And if you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle some chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for that extra crunch and chocolatey flavor.

    🍪 Ingredients for this keto snickerdoodle cookies recipe

    • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • ⅓ cup brown erythritol
    • 2 cups Bob's Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (grounded)
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder

    Cinnamon “Sugar” Topping

    • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

    Ingredient substitutions

    • Unsalted butter: You can substitute it with coconut oil, ghee, or margarine as they have similar fat content and can provide moisture and richness to the baked goods.
    • Pure vanilla extract: You can replace it with either almond extract or bourbon extract.
    • Brown erythritol: If you don't have this, you can use granulated erythritol or other keto-friendly granulated sweeteners.

    Additional ingredients

    • Spices: You can add chai spices such as allspice, ginger, and cardamom to these keto cookies. For chocolate chai snickerdoodles, you can add cocoa along with spices.
    • Sugar-free chocolate drizzle: A sugar-free chocolate sauce can make these cookies even more decadent.
    • Nuts: You can use chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds and sprinkle them on top.
    • Icing: A sugar-free cream cheese icing will be an awesome choice.

    Note: Do remember the addition of these toppings can increase the calorie content. So, be mindful while adding them to cookies.

    Cooking tools required

    To make this keto snickerdoodles recipe you will need the following tools:

    • 8" Cast iron skillet
    • Microwave-safe bowl
    • Whisk
    • Toothpick
    • Small bowl

    Tools substitute options

    • 8" Cast iron skillet: If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, feel free to use a similar-sized baking dish or cake tin.
    • Microwave-safe bowl: If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter in a small pot on the stove. Just keep the heat low to prevent the butter from burning.
    • Whisk: A regular dinner fork or spoon can be used if you don't have a whisk. A blender or food processor, or electric mixer can also be used.
    • Toothpick: If you don't have a toothpick, you can use a thin knife or skewer to check the doneness of your snickerdoodles.

    How to make Keto Snickerdoodles Cookies: step-by-step guide

    Cooking method

    • Baking

    Preparation steps

    1. Gather your ingredients and tools.
    2. Measure your ingredients properly.
    3. Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave.
    4. Grease a cast iron skillet to prevent the cookie from sticking during baking.

    Cooking instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven to 350°F (180°C).
    2. Add the melted butter, egg, vanilla, and brown erythritol to the bowl. Beat these ingredients together until they're well mixed. Mix in the dry ingredients of almond flour, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking powder. Stir all these ingredients together until you have a smooth cookie dough.
    3. Transfer the prepared dough to the greased skillet, spreading it evenly.
    4. Put the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cookie comes out clean.

    For cinnamon sugar topping

    1. Take a small bowl and mix together your cinnamon and sweetener. Let the snickerdoodles cool slightly and sprinkle them with the cinnamon "sugar" mixture.

    Chef's pro tip

    For the most amazing texture, make sure to mix all the ingredients really well until they are thoroughly combined. This ensures that the moisture is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough, resulting in a mouthwatering treat. Oh, and here's a little secret: if you want an extra boost of moistness, you can add an extra large egg to the mix. Trust us, these little tricks will make your cookies irresistibly moist and delightful every single time.

    What to serve with keto snickerdoodle cookies?

    • Whip dairy-free coconut cream with sweetener and vanilla extract. Add a dollop on warm cookies for a luscious keto-friendly topping.
    • Drizzle cookies with rich sugar-free chocolate sauce for indulgence without breaking ketosis.
    • Keto-friendly, sugar-free peanut butter ice cream!
    • Enjoy cookies with a cup of keto-friendly coffee or tea, complementing the cinnamon flavors for a cozy pairing.
    • Serve fresh berries and sweetened whipped cream alongside the cookies for a tangy and delightful combination.
    • Create a sugar-free vanilla glaze using powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Drizzle over cookies for added sweetness.

    How to make it healthier

    • Opt for healthier fat: Instead of using unsalted butter, consider substituting it with healthier fat options like coconut or avocado.
    • Use a natural sugar substitute: Replace the brown erythritol with a natural sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
    • Serve with a healthier topping: Instead of traditional whipped cream or ice cream, serve the cookie with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sugar-free alternative.

    Time-saving tips

    • If you're making this recipe for a larger gathering or want more cookies to enjoy later, double the ingredients and use a larger skillet or baking dish. Remember that the baking time may need to be adjusted slightly, so keep an eye on the cookies as they bake.

    What can I prepare ahead of time?

    • Pre-measure the dry ingredients, combine them in a bowl or airtight container, and mix them well. This way, when preparing the dough, you can simply grab and use the pre-measured dry ingredients.

    Storage and reheating instructions

    Storage instructions

    • Room temperature: Keep the cooled snickerdoodles cookies in an airtight or sealable container at room temperature. You can store them for 3-5 days.
    • Fridge: You can refrigerate these cookies in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
    • Freezer: First, place the cookies in the freezer-safe bag or container, with parchment paper between layers, to prevent sticking. You can freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Reheating instructions

    • Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the cookies on a baking sheet and heat for about 5-10 minutes or until warm.
    • Microwave: Heat a cookie on a microwave-safe plate for 10-15 seconds. But when reheating frozen cookies, let them thaw first.

    Frequently asked questions

    These keto snickerdoodles differ from classic cookies in terms of ingredient composition. Moreover, low-carb alternatives like almond flour and keto-friendly sweeteners make them healthy snickerdoodles.

    The texture of keto snickerdoodles is soft and chewy. You can add Xanthan gum or unflavored gelatin powder to make it extra chewy.

    You get burnt bottoms in snickerdoodles because of overcooking or using a skillet that's too thin. So, use a good quality, thick-bottomed skillet and closely monitor your baking time.

    If your snickerdoodle cookies are not flat as desired, it can be because of insufficient butter or fat in the dough, or the dough is over-chilled before baking. To make them flat, adjust the fat content or allow the dough to come to room temperature before baking.

    Keto snickerdoodles turn out runny because of using too much liquid in the recipe. To prevent this, measure the ingredients accurately.

    Top it off with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, a generous scoop of keto-friendly ice cream, or even a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence. Enjoy these cookies with a keto-friendly beverage such as unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or a cup of black coffee.

      Thank you for a non-dairy recipe. my daughter is medically grain free and dairy free. So hard with Keto. I can easily substitute out the dairy butter.
