Keto snickerdoodles are soft keto cookies with a unique cinnamon flavor and only 1.4 grams of net carbs per cookie. Bonus, this recipe is also egg-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly!
Traditional Snickerdoodle cookies are small cookies with a cracked surface. They are typically crispy but some versions exist with a soft texture. They are very similar to sugar cookies, the main difference being the addition of cinnamon.
Interestingly no-one really knows why they are called Snickerdoodle. There are a few theories out there, but nothing is certain.
Traditional Snickerdoodle cookies are not keto-friendly. Because they are made with sugar, all-purpose flour, and rolled in more regular sugar. This makes a single small traditional snickerdoodle cookie reach 10 grams of net carbs.

Carine, j’adore votre site ! Un très grand merci de vos recettes et de votre merveilleuse generosité en les partageant. (Il est également bien possible que se trouvent des erreurs dans mon français comme elle est une langue supplémentaire chez moi comme votre anglais charmant et excellent !) <3 Par curiosité, qu'est-ce que c'est votre deuxième langue après le français et avant l'anglais ?
Merci beaucoup ! I learnt German first for 12 years then I started English. Thanks for reading my blog, XOXO Carine
Hi Carine, your cookie recipes are my favorite by far. However I am having a bit of trouble with the snickerdoodles. I weighed the ingredients using your gram measures and even when I bake for 12 minutes they come out underbaked/doughy. I have checked my oven temp and just don’t know if there is any other advice you can provide. Thanks so much.
Simply bake them longer, up to 18 minutes. They are ready when golden on the top. It is normal to have a soft cookie when out of the oven, they firm up with time. Enjoy,
I wish i could have uploaded a photo. The cookies looked picture perfect. But two things went wrong. You said bake 8-10 min and don’t overbake. So I baked for 8 1/2 min, leaving them on the pan as directed before removing. But they were just totally under baked. This was my mistake which I will correct the next time I make these. But the second thing about these cookies is that they’re not sweet. At all. I used the 1/3 cp of erythritol in the mix. And of course used the correct amount in the cinnamon mixture for rolling. Not sweet. Like totally bland. Next time, i will bake longer. And I will increase the sweetener to 1/2 cp. but overall, a very pretty cookie and easy to put together.
These are our first keto biscuits – quite nice and we love the low carb level.
I am happy you love them! Enjoy, XOXO Carine
I love your recipes , help me bake to my son who has food intolerance but his new test appear has intolerance to coconut and almond , how can I measure for use flour rice or kasava .
Thank you! I am so glad you both are enjoying my recipes. I can’t recommend on rice flour or cassava flour since I never used them in my kitchen. I only use keto flours. Almond flour can always be replaced by same amount of sunflower seed flour. . Enjoy, XOXO Carine
These cookies are marvellous. Even my sugar loving teenage son loves them. And so easy to make.
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.
That is so rude, when someone is good enough to share you should say thankyou or say nothing at all
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
Ceren
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
