About my recommended ingredients for these low carb cookies.

But for the purpose of people who like more order I will share an orderly step by step in the recipe card below. Make sure to also watch the video to help put things in perspective.

Blanched Super fine almond flour is my choice for this recipe. These following brands are the ones I use frequently

Wellbees Blanched Almond flour
Kirkland Blanched Almond flour
Anthony’s Blanched Almond flour

Sugar free Pancake Syrup: serves as a binder for the cookie dough since we won’t be using eggs.

Brown sugar substitute: I usually use the Lakanto brown sugar substitute or I make my own. For this recipe I used my home made ‘Sugar free’ Brown sugar

Yacon Syrup is great as a molasses substitute in these Keto gingerbread cookies recipe. It adds color to the gingerbread cookies.

If you don’t have access to Yacon Syrup, you can use molasses instead don’t worry about the sugar found in molasses because the amount needed to make this recipe when spread across the number of servings will be negligible. Make sure to check out my homemade Keto brown sugar substitute.

What is Yacon Syrup?

Yacon syrup is extracted from the roots of the Yacon plant, It looks like and has the same consistency as molasses. Because a large part of Yacon syrup isn’t digested it’s is used as a low calorie substitute to sugar.

How to decorate Keto gingerbread cookies

You can make some Keto royal icing, Keto butter cream icing or just some some holiday cheer on them in the likeness of powdered erythritol.

How to make Keto Royal Icing Sugar

If you decide to decorate these cookies with keto friendly Royal icing, mix the following ingredients together

1/2 cup of powdered sweetener
3 teaspoons egg white powder
1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum
2 Tablespoons water ( you can thin out as you see fit)

How do these Sugar free gingerbread cookies taste?

These cookies taste great with a hint of almond which I love. Texture wise these are melt in your mouth kind of cookies that are easily adaptable to your taste.

For example, if you want them chewing, 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan gum added to this recipe will give it a chewy feel.

If you want it more crisp, reduce the temperature of the oven to 325 F and bake them for longer ( watch them closely as almonds tend to burn within a twinkle of an eye )
