The keto diet is fantastic for a lot of reasons. Many people do it specifically to curb their sweet tooth entirely.

See, eating low-carb and going into ketosis where your body is generally burning fat instead of glucose (carbs) for fuel, you tend not to crave those sugary treats as much because your body’s thinking, “What the heck would I do with all that sugar?”

When autumn rolls around, pumpkin fever sets in. This is when you need those sweet treats. Getting your pumpkin fix while sticking to low-carb can be a tough feat considering its starchy sweet nature, but these cookies will do the trick.

Thumbprints are like business on the outside and a party on the inside. Fortunately, making them keto is simple by eliminating the sugar and allowing just a touch of real fruit to do the trick for giving these guys that gooey center you look forward to biting into.

How perfect do these look? Fortunately, peanut butter – or almond butter or cashew butter – is keto-friendly, so the main ingredient in your classic cookie isn’t compromised.

5. Ket-Oreos

If dipping and dunking is the name of your cookie game, Oreos are probably at the top of your list. There’s no way the store-bought package could pass as a keto-friendly snack, so it’s obviously time to make your own.

It’s totally worth it for these chocolate cookies sandwiched with a creamy, rich centre. It’s a simple-to-make chocolate shortbread recipe with cream cheese in the middle. The kiddos will LOVE these, too. Get the recipe from The Primitive Palate.

6. Brown butter coconut cookies

Brown butter is a baking goldmine of flavor. It’s deep and rich because it’s butter, of course – something you just can’t go wrong with. The caramelization adds that extra layer of awesomeness to the mix, though, and these coconut cookies are booming with it.

This is loaded with healthy fats, fabulous texture, and touches of savory from a sprinkle of sea salt. Get the recipe from Low Carb Yum.

7. Five-ingredient chocolate cookies

Some of us just have a taste for chocolate. It’s a matter of “the more of it, the better,” and these cookies are JUST the recipe for the true chocoholic, double-fudge folks out there.

Plus, these contain just five ingredients. The magic happens with a blend of rich cacao powder and nut or seed butter for a final taste reminiscent of Nutella… and who doesn’t like Nutella?! Get the recipe from Keto Diet App.

8. Five-minute no bake cookies

If you need something sweet without the hassle of baking, these no-bake treats are the way to go. Plus, they’re made up of pantry staples you probably have on-hand already if you’re following the keto diet!

These are a blend of peanut butter and real butter, but you can always sub peanuts for your favorite nut or seed butter instead. You can make the cocoa option, or the regular option.

Either way, these are super simple and take just five minutes to prep. Get the recipe from How to This And That.

9. Cranberry pistachio cookies

10. Cinnamon swirl cookies

This cookie is basically the lovechild of a classic snickerdoodle and a piping hot cinnamon bun – neither of which are generally found in the low-carb variety.
