Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies
While this is a keto-friendly dessert, it is the CLOSEST you will ever come to a real snickerdoodle! It is light, fluffy, delicious, down to the last crumb!
What Are Snickerdoodle Cookies
Snickerdoodle cookies are a very popular cookie. They tend to be a soft and chewy cookie that is rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. Snickerdoodles use cream of tartar giving it flavor that stands out from other almond flour keto cookies.
Can You Have Cream Of Tartar On Keto Diet
You can have the cream of tartar on the keto diet if your macros allow it. Cream of Tartar is a Potassium mineral and can actually help contribute to your needed electrolytes intake while on keto. So eat em up!
What Type of Flour Do You Use for Low Carb Snickerdoodles
We use blanched- fine almond flour for our low carb keto snickerdoodle cookies. You want to have it be a fine texture as this will mimic the texture of regular flour, giving your snickerdoodles light and fluffy texture. This almond flour snickerdoodle offers a very similar texture as the original. We have not tested this recipe with coconut flour. Feel free to try it out and let us know! Be aware that coconut flour soaks up more liquid so another egg may be needed.
Do You Refrigerate The Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough
Yes, you will want to refrigerate your cookie dough for 10-15 minutes before you prepare them for baking. This is going to help set up the dough a bit, and offer that light and fluffy texture you want in a keto snickerdoodle cookie. If you don't allow the dough to rest and get chilled your gluten free snickerdoodles will fall flat in baking.
What Is The Best Sweetener To Use For Low Carb Cookies
Personally, I reach for erythritol! I find it sweetens the cookies nicely, and doesn't have a strong of a sweetener taste like some. But you can use other granulated sweeteners, you prefer. Just make sure to measure them correctly when converting the recipe.

How To Store Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies
Allow your cookies to fully cool down, and then place them in an airtight container or sealable bag. Store on the counter at room temperature for 4-5 days. These are best when eaten in the first few days, as each day they can begin to dry out more.
Can You Freeze Snickerdoodle Cookies
Yes. You can freeze any leftover snickerdoodle cookies you have. Simply allow the cookies to fully cool, then place in a freezer bag or container and store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw on the counter and enjoy.
