Edible cookie dough is one of those treats everyone enjoys. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of enjoying cookie dough off the beaters.

7. Coconut Flour Shortbread Cookies
Three ingredients to throw together crunchy shortbread cookies? Count me in.

The cookies are superb and delicious when dipped in coffee or tea.

8. Low-Carb Almond Cinnamon Butter Cookies
Despite the title, these are like lovely keto-friendly snickerdoodle-style cookies.
Take the traditional shaping of peanut butter cookies and roll them in granular sweetener and cinnamon. You’ll see exactly what I mean.

12. Keto Vanilla Cinnamon Cookies
These cookies are best compared to oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, minus the oatmeal.

19. Keto Peppermint Bark Cookies
Don’t let the name of these cookies fool you. They definitely ARE cookies — not broken shards of edible bark.

No list of keto cookie recipes is complete without some homemade keto Oreos. I LOVE Oreos. I love dipping them in milk, pulling them apart to lick the icing, etc.
There are all kinds of fun, tasty, nostalgia-inducing ways to eat an Oreo. And while these don’t have precisely the same texture, their taste is spot-on.
You will love them!

22. Keto Cowboy Cookies
The recipe calls these cowboy cookies, but I prefer to think of them as kitchen sink cookies.
Why?
Because you’ll add everything but the kitchen sink to them! There’s chocolate, coconut, pecans, cinnamon, sea salt, and more!
They’re a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kind of cookie. Only, thanks to their ZERO net carbs per serving, they won’t actually stick to your ribs.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
