Keto Apple Cinnamon Snickerdoodles

Soft and chewy keto snickerdoodle cookies with a tasty apple butter twist. These cookies are the perfect sugar-free, low-carb and diabetic-friendly dessert or snack. You will never know there are no real apples in this recipe!

I didn’t grow up eating Snickerdoodles, as they are not common in Australia — in fact I didn’t even try one until on holiday in America when I was in my early 20s.

But the soft pillowy keto cookies left a lasting impression and I was keen to see how they would work using our low-carb “apple” butter that’s made with zucchini instead of apples. I know you may think this is impossible but I guarantee you it does taste just like apple butter.

And the result was better than expected — they’re soft with an almost custard-y middle and that delicious cinnamon sweetener crunch on the outside. If you’re a snickerdoodle fan — or if you’re yet to try them — these are a must!

Ingredients (makes 20 cookies)

1 ¹/₂ cups almond flour (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
3 tbsp coconut flour (24 g/ 0.9 oz)
1 tbsp gelatin powder (11 g/ 0.4 oz)
¹/₂ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
¹/₂ tsp sea salt
1 stick unsalted butter (113 g/ 4 oz)
¹/₄ cup granulated Erythritol or Swerve (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
1 large egg
2 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
¹/₂ cup + 1 tbsp homemade Low-Carb Apple Butter (140 g/ 4.9 oz)
3 tbsp granulated Erythritol or Swerve (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 175 ?C/ 350 ?F (conventional), or 155 ?C/ 310 ?F (fan assisted). Add the almond and coconut flour, gelatin, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and Erythritol (reserve 3 tablespoons of the Erythritol used in this recipe for coating).
Add the egg, vanilla, and apple butter and mix well.
Add roughly a third of the dry ingredients to the wet and process well. Add another third, and repeat, and then the last third, mixing until combined.
Place the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes or so while you line a tray and prepare the cinnamon sweetener.
To do this, mix the remaining Erythritol and cinnamon together in a small plate. Shape the dough into balls about 2.5 cm/ 1″ (28 g/ 1 oz per each ball) and roll in the cinnamon sweetener mixture.
Place the balls on a lined baking tray roughly 5 cm/ 2″ apart. Do not flatten, they will do so themselves as they bake. Bake 8-10 minutes (they are best slightly under-baked!)
Remove from oven and cool on tray a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container up to 5 days, or sealed in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
To store for longer, freeze for up to 3 months.
