As you may already know, I love baking with almond flour: cakes, cookies, cakelets, muffins-I love my almond flour desserts.

So of course, I wanted to take a stab at making some ginger snap cookies with almond flour, and that's how I came up with this delightful Ginger Cookie Recipe.

Alex (my 17-year old son) is really into baking, so I asked him to make the first batch. We liked them, but they were a little softer and crumblier than we wanted, and while they tasted good, I didn't think they'd travel as well.

I started tweaking the original Keto Ginger Snaps Recipe, and of course, cutting out steps where possible.

This streamlined recipe for this keto cookie recipe will take you about 10 minutes to put together and 10-15 minutes to bake.

That is a little dangerous if you think about it.

I have to say, these are the BEST low carb cookies I've ever tasted-and I've spent a lot of money trying various commercial keto cookies.

Many of those taste like fiber or sawdust. These do not. These taste like COOKIES. Real, really delicious cookies!

Why Are They Called Ginger Snaps?

They call them ginger snaps because they're made with ginger and they are typically a crispier, crunchier cookie that makes a "snap" sound when they're consumed.

This gluten-free Ginger Cookie Recipe is basically just a ginger snap cookie baked with lower carb ingredients like almond flour and Truvia. They do, however, still have that delightful texture and "snap" you'd expect from a good ginger snap.

How Long Do Ginger Snap Cookies Last?

Now it depends on what you mean by "last". This Ginger Cookie Recipe will keep in an airtight container for about 2-3 weeks. However, don't expect them to last that long, as they'll more than likely all be eaten before then.

Do These Keto Cookies Use Almond Flour?

They sure do. That's what helps keep them low carb cookies. But don't fret. The unconventional flour won't change the flavor or texture of these cookies one bit.

With the influx of people eating low carb and gluten-free, you can easily find it in the baking aisle of your local grocer.

Do Sugar-Free Cookies Taste Good?

I may be a bit biased because I haven't eaten sugar on a consistent basis in YEARS. In my opinion (and thousands of other people who have tried this recipe), these keto cookies aren't just good. They're one of my best cookie recipes. Your taste buds won't skip a beat when you sink your teeth into one of these delicious low carb cookies.
