Keto snickerdoodle – soft cinnamon cookies
If you miss the classic snickerdoodle cookies from Christmas, you will love this healthy keto version of your favorite treat that you can eat all year round. A soft chewy, melt-in-your mouth cinnamon cookie with delicious cinnamon sugar-free coating. Great news, this recipe uses only few simple ingredients:
- Almond flour – fine, not coarse almond meal or the cookies will have a gritty texture
- Coconut flour – fresh, no lumps
- Sugar-free crystal sweetener – feel free to use your favorite blend of stevia erythritol or monk fruit stevia blend. I always use this one.
- Coconut oil or melted butter
- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk – at room temperature
- Baking soda – or double amount if you want to use baking powder
- Apple cider vinegar
- Xanthan gum – this adds chewy texture to the cookies
- Cinnamon

A perfect snickerdoodle cookie is soft in the middle and shows some cracks on the edges. It also has a delicious crunchy cinnamon sugar coating that adds an amazing cinnamon flavor to your cookie.

I don’t have almond milk but am desperate to try these cookies. Could I substitute heavy cream or regular milk??
Yes, any milk will work or heavy cream Enjoy the keto recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine
One of the best Candida diet desserts I’ve tried. Followed the recipe exactly except for substituting equal amounts of Lakanto monk fruit sweetener instead of erythritol. Will definitely make again. I’ll probably add a pinch of salt next time
Thanks for the lovely feedback! Yes, erythritol or lakanto crystal sweetener are both working well in all my recipes, Enjoy! XOXO Carine
It would be nice if you would fix the typos in your recipe.
Sure! I am French and I do my best to write in English (it is my third language) so I am sorry for my mistakes. Enjoy the recipes, XOXO Carine
This is the most amazing cookie I have made from your website 😍❤️
Thank you ! I am so glad you love them too, XOXO Carine
Hi Carine, if not freezing, what is the best way to keep these cookies fresh?
They are delicious!
Thanks

Hi Ceren, they store very well in a cookie jar in the pantry for up to 5-7 days. Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine
This is the best keto dessert recipe I’ve ever tried! Sometimes I find it rather hard being keto + vegan, but this will certainly make it easier. I’ve hated almost every other dessert recipe I’ve tried, but this one was super good. I adjusted the monkfruit sweetner as I would rather less sweet than the aftertaste, and it’s a total hit! BTW, the xanthum gum really makes the difference!!
Thanks so much for restoring my hope in vegan keto desserts!!
You are welcome ! There is plenty of keto vegan desserts recipes on my blog, enjoy! XOXO Carine.
These are delicious! I am making this recipe for the 2nd time and sharing it with co-workers. Hopefully they find it as amazing as I did.
I hope they love it too! Let me know, XOXO Carine
Do you have to add the gum or is there a replacement?
No you don’t but the cookie will be less chewy. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
