Have you ever tried Blue Chip Cookies? That used to be my favorite stop while shopping at the mall, I loved their soft and chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies. I just knew that I had to recreate a Keto version of my favorite Snickerdoodle Cookies that taste just as good as the original!
My version are much smaller and obviously not loaded with gluten and sugar. They are still buttery, soft on the inside and crisp around the edges.
How to make Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies:
Beat the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together in a large bowl until fluffy.
Add the almond flour, baking soda, cram of tartar (if using) and salt. Mix just until combined.
Scoop out the dough and roll into balls.
Combine the sweetener and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Roll the cookie balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet (you will need two) and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
Place in the refrigerator to chill for 10 to 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake cookies for 10 minutes, until golden and set.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire cooling rack.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Do not skimp on the chilling time or your cookies will fall flat and spread in the oven.
- The butter should be softened, not melted or your cookies will fall flat and spread in the oven. Ask me how I know, lol
- The Swerve sweetener does have a cooling effect when used on the outside of the cookies. The amount of cinnamon used helps to balance this out.
- Dip the bottom of the glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture to keep the cookie dough from sticking.
