I have a confession to make.
I’m a Hallmark junkie…
I know, I know.
I can’t help myself.
My favorites are the Christmas movies.
Small towns…
…snow…
…the whole family making Christmas cookies…
…sigh…
There’s something about making Christmas cookies that just seems to make holiday preparations complete.
And now that you’re following the keto lifestyle, you might have thought that part of your Christmas traditions would have to go by the wayside.
Luckily, you would have been wrong.
If you had actually thought that.
Which you might not have. And you would have been smart.
But I did. And it made me sad.
But I was not about to give up on my Christmas baking spree easily.
So I did a little online searching, and I ended up with a pretty long list of keto Christmas cookies to try out.
But I won’t bore you with all the details.
What I will do, however, is give you the deets on the best of the best Keto Christmas Cookies that I found.
And if you’re looking for some adult beverages for your holiday parties, check out my keto cocktails post here.
Now, without further ado, here are my favorite Keto Christmas Cookies!
I grew up with tree and star shaped Spritz cookies. And they are my all time favorite Christmas cookie! And although I never had them with orange zest or dipped in chocolate, they are still my fav. I may have to add orange and chocolate now though... Frosted Christmas cookies just can't be beat! Especially if you've got some kids around! My kids used to love to help decorate the cookies when they were little. So whip up a batch and have at it! No list of Christmas Cookies is complete with Gingerbread Men! I'm so glad that someone took the time to develop a Keto Gingerbread cookie. And the way these are decorated is so stinkin cute! They will be a huge hit at what ever get together you go to. These Jam Thumbprints always make their way into gift bags for friends and family. And now that I have a Keto version, I can put them back in the cookie jar! There's even a link to a sugar free strawberry jam recipe in case you don't have one. Win-win! Cranberries and orange are a flavor marriage made in heaven! And it's a combo I've never had in a Christmas cookie before. Until I found this recipe, anyway. 🙂 You are so gonna love these! Y'all know I love me some chocolate! And these are pretty darn tasty! Keto Christmas is looking better all the time, right? Nutmeg is such a flavor of the holiday season. I had never had this version of a butter cookie before, but I'm telling you it's all kinds of amazing! It's got pecans (which I love) and just a touch of orange zest. They're practically perfect! These are gluten free and dairy free. And sugar free, of course. They have a lovely cinnamon flavor that is really warm and lovely. Gonna be on the Christmas baking list from now on... I am a firm believer that Christmas isn't really Christmas without biscotti. That may be kinda rash, but there it is. These cranberry almond biscotti cookies are perfect for my yearly craving. The recipe is a little strange in that it states that the chocolate drizzle is optional...not sure what she was thinking there...lol I'm going to finish up this list with the perennial Christmas favorite. The snickerdoodle. I'm just going to say that I am ridiculously excited about this recipe. Pre-keto, I used to make these very single year. Multiple batches. And now I can again. Life is grand.
And go ahead and sign up for that cookie exchange at the office and blow everyone’s socks off.
Then celebrate by eating some keto friendly snickerdoodles…
Peace, love, and keto Christmas cookies!!
