Today’s Cookie Friday recipe is a classic Snickerdoodle turned into a somewhat slightly healthier Snickerdoodle – let’s say it that way. Delicious Keto Snickerdoodles made without any white sugar or flour. If you want to cut back on sugar or have problems with gluten – these cookies might be the right cookies for you… besides tasting really nice, of course. ;)

Cookies and cakes are something you should not eat all the time – sweets are for special occasions only. Something you should enjoy consciously. Some have to keep an eye on stuff like sugar, some just don’t want to eat it. I am in the group of people that has to cut back on sugar due to health issues. It’s ok – you get used to it. It takes some time but at some point, you don’t even miss sugar and sweet stuff anymore – with the occasional relapse :P Well… in cases my brain and body need something sweet, I make cookies like these here. Sugar-free and delicious – something you can enjoy without feeling sorry.

Even though sugar replacements make it easy to create something sweet without the »side effects« of real sugar – I am not a big fan, to be honest. If there is a possibility to leave that kind of replacement out of my bakes, I will do so. But from time to time it’s ok and if you use it sparingly it is absolutely fine. What kind of sugar replacement you choose is up to you – I normally prefer xylitol* because it works best in my opinion.

Compared with erythritol, for example, you will still have loads of calories, but no effect on your blood sugar level. If you want your cookies to have fewer calories, you should use erythritol – that’s what I used in this recipe. Anyway – both replacements are fine for a low-carb or keto diet.

These Snickerdoodles taste a bit different from regular Snickerdoodles – not because of the sugar replacement – I also replaced regular flour with ground almonds and coconut flour – so these flavors join the cinnamon flavor. Really nice, but not 100% what you might expect from the classic cinnamon cookies.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Mix the erythritol and ground cinnamon for the coating in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Add the butter and erythritol for the dough to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix until each is well incorporated. Next, add the vanilla extract and mix it in. Mix the almond flour with coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add to the bowl and mix until just combined. Let the dough sit for about 10 minutes.

3. Shape small balls and roll them in the erythritol and cinnamon mixture to cover them completely. Flatten the balls a bit and place on the baking sheet – you don’t need much space in between since the cookies are not spreading a lot. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down a bit on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Das Erythrit für die Ummantelung mit dem Zimt in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

2. Die Butter für den Teig mit dem Erythrit in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Die Mandeln mit Kokosmehl, Natron, Zimt und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Den Teig für etwa 10 Minuten stehen lassen.

3. Etwa 30 kleine Kugeln aus dem Teig formen und in der Erythrit-Zimt-Mischung wälzen, bis sie komplett bedeckt sind. Die Kugeln etwas flachdrücken und dann auf das vorbereitete Blech setzen – der Abstand zwischen den Portionen muss nicht so groß sein, weil die Cookies die Form recht gut beibehalten. Für etwa 10-11 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter setzen und komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit den restlichen Teigkugeln wiederholen.

Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
