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).

Chelsea says
I just made these they are delicious. Definitely the best keto/low carb cookie I have made!
Gwen says
This is the second lot of cookies I have made and once again, they are very, very soft. Think I may have worked out my problem, using almond meal instead of almond flour.
SB says
What brand of unsweetened maple syrup do you use?
FatForWeightLoss says
The queens brand from coles / woolworths
Carole says
I tried the recipe and my cookies flattened out, very soft, too soft, what did I do wrong?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Carole, that’s strange! Mine doesn’t do this. Did you measure out all of your ingredients?
Angela says
Literally the best cookies! You wouldn’t know they were keto friendly! What brand almond flour did you use ? When I calculate the nutrition I get over five carbs for each cookie from my almond flour 🙁 still worth it though!
Thanks
Brenda says
I do not care for erythritol. I love the Walden Farms calorie free pancake syrup, wondering if I could use more of that for the erythritol and add in a little more almond flour or xanthan gum? Thoughts?
FatForWeightLoss says
Sure. Erythritol is always a better option, but if it doesn’t agree with you, then substitute as planned 🙂
CEYLON GOLDEN CINNAMON says
Excellent… will try to prepare it as per instructions…
Ct says
I substituted guar gum for xanthan gum does xanthan gum make the cookie stick together or not? I like the cookie but it is rather cakelike. Then fIavor is still really delicious I just wanted to know. Thank you for the recipe!
