The holidays are a perfect time to indulge your sweet tooth and it’s hard to use moderation with so many delicious treats around! Thankfully we have a keto friendly cookie recipe that is sweet, delicious, and has significantly less carbs than most desserts. These bite-sized cookies are soft and fruity with a hint of almond flavor.
This recipe uses jam to add the sweetness and using a sugar-free jam will keep the glycemic index even lower. We have used strawberry, but you can use any flavor you like. Feel free to make a mix and match selection for a nice variety of fruity flavors. The flours used in these keto cookies are almond and coconut, which enhance the flavor, nutritional value and also keep the recipe low carb and healthy. Gluten sensitive people will be able to enjoy them too.
These cookies make a fantastic gift idea! Perfect for the holidays, add them to any gift basket to brighten someone’s day. These cookies are beautifully festive and have only 86 calories and 1.2 net grams of carbs per cookie. Your keto friends and family will absolutely love them and you can even include the recipe in the tin so they can make their own batch. There’s absolutely no guilt in indulging in more than a couple of these sweet treats and we can’t wait till you share them with your loved ones this holiday season.
