These keto snickerdoodle cookies are super delicious. If you imagine a delicious piece of french toast and turned it into a cookie, that’s exactly what you’re looking at right now!
Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
The base of these keto snickerdoodle cookies are exactly the same as my keto chocolate chip cookies, just without the chocolate chips, but with a little extra almond flour and sugar-free maple syrup.
However, don’t underestimate the copycat essence of this recipe, in fact, those chocolate chip cookies were voted best recipe on my website to date…. So what are you waiting for?
Go and fire up those oven flames and cast your hands into gloves of steel ready to whip these bad boys together in a split.
What Are Snickerdoodle Cookies?
The taste of snickerdoodle to me is kinda like french toast. French toast is traditionally made using an egg mixture, maple syrup, cinnamon and of course… bread. But cookies? Yeah, I wasn’t so sure about this myself until I actually made them.
My gosh, it totally tastes like the real thing, just without all the pan-frying and egg mixture flung around the stovetop whilst attempting to flip the slippery suckers.
I can’t really say that these are a French butter cookie, that would be lying. They are more of a soft textured sugar-free cookie honestly.
Frech Toast Cookie Vs Snickerdoodle Cookie?
Some people actually call them snickerdoodles or a snickerdoodle cookie. never the less, I’m sure the cross-continental slang language barrier doesn’t stop you from making these…
These cookies don’t contain any milk, which is great. Milk-free french toast cookies! feel free to dip in almond milk.
Snickerdoodle Cookies with Coconut Flour
This recipe uses almond flour since they need to be nice and soft. I find using coconut flour troublesome and usually ends up harder than you want.
Instead, I would use sesame seed flour (which is still nut free) and can be replaced at the same ratio as almond flour in this recipe.
You can simply grind up sesame seeds in a food processor to make sesame seed flour. Just use untoasted sesame seeds, and don’t process them too much (it can turn into tahini).

These are the best low carb cookie recipe I have ever tried! I have attempted many recipes and these taste like the real deal. They are so soft and have great texture.
Pam says
These cookies are so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe. My bf was wanting French Toast but being on keto, that wasn’t exactly an option. He’ll eat these cookies with eggs and bacon for breakfast! Love them!! Soft and sweet and absolutely delicious!!
Carla H says
By far the best keto cookie recipe I have found. I’ve tried a lot of recipes and this the only one to taste like a real cookie. I did have to cook them a couple of minutes longer in my oven. Thank you so much for this! Really helped me with my sweet tooth! I think I can carry on with Keto now.

Hey there!
I’ve followed the recipe and my cookies come out like mush still. Are they supposed to be that soft? I use swerve, super fine almond flour, and red mill xanthan gum. I used a stick of butter and an egg and everything. They are coming out like play dough and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Help!
FatForWeightLoss says
Yes they are supposed to be soft 🙂
Jane Left says
Hi. great recipe. Are you suppose to flatten the balls before putting them in the oven. Just put a batch in and was just wondering.
FatForWeightLoss says
That is correct.
veronica castro says
I substituted the xanthan gum for the unflavored gelatine is this okay?
FatForWeightLoss says
Definitely, this will work well
Cinnamon Vogue says
Great recipe. Never bought Xantham Gum before. Guess it is needed to hold it together. Must give it a try. I would substitute normal Cassia Cinnamon for Ceylon Cinnamon. But then again we are biased. But Ceylon Cinnamon will not damage your liver like Cassia type Cinnamon especially if you use it regularly.
Stickler says
For ease of use could you convert this recipe to grams. especially for the dry ingredients
Lori says
Could this be baked as a bread instead of cookies?
FatForWeightLoss says
I would search for keto french toast here on my blog. That would work much better
Andrea says
I only have Swerve. Would it be a 1:1 conversion? Can’t wiait to try this recipe!
FatForWeightLoss says
1:1 for sure!
