Keto Sugar Cookies [with Low-Carb Icing]

One of the hardest parts of sticking to a specific diet is missing the classic foods you used to enjoy all the time.

On our keto-based diet, we miss the classic sugar cookie—which is why we now present our Keto sugar cookie recipe. Soft, buttery and delicious, this is a classic cookie that doesn’t have to be reserved for the holiday season. We make this one all year round!

Sugar cookies themselves have a really simple flavor, which is reflected in the recipe. We like to use almond and coconut flour to create the bulk of the dough, as this provides the right texture and keeps the cookies low-carb.

Another keto ingredient in this cookie is allulose. Allulose is a natural sugar found in figs and raisins, and it’s a fantastic low-carb alternative to sugar. If you chose to ice your cookies, then we encourage you to also use powdered allulose. Using it in powdered form prevents your icing from becoming grainy and lumpy, which nobody wants to bite into.

The secret ingredient in this recipe is cream cheese. Using cream cheese in place of an egg makes a world of difference. The cream cheese prevents the cookies from puffing out and spreading while they bake. Furthermore, the cream cheese actually softens the cookies and ensures that they don’t dry out.

We love to decorate our cookies, especially for a special occasion. A simple allulose-based icing will allow you to let your imagination run wild and decorate your cookies in all sorts of creative ways.
