What makes this nut cookies recipe different from regular cookies
Did you know that you can use these Low carb nut cookies easy to freeze and can defrost at will? Very practical or :) By the way, this works with all nut cookies.
But what sets this low carb nut cookies recipe apart from others are, of course, the ingredients.
Mega delicious! Bake low carb coconut macaroons yourself!
Exchange flour for nuts
First, of course, the number of carbs. Homemade cookies contain many healthy fats, fiber and minerals from nuts. But hardly any carbohydrates. That's because we completely avoid wheat flour. That has lost nothing in our cookies.
Because we do not use flour, this also has the advantage that the cookies are gluten-free. So the gluten-free cookies also taste good to anyone who suffers from celiac disease.
I have seen some recipes that are made with protein powder. But with this ingredient I can not help myself with the Low carb nut cookies not make friends. So we remain faithful exclusively to our nuts :)
Swap sugar for xylitol
Sugar and low carb do not go together. Much better than sugar is a mix of maple syrup and Xylitol*. Maple syrup gives the nut corners a caramel note. This fits beautifully with the Low carb nut cookies.
But then we can't do it completely without sweeteners. So we better resort to Almond flour* and Erythritol*. It does not cause blood sugar levels to rise so rapidly and is considered healthier. If you like, you can also Erythritol* take. Both work without any problems.
Unlike other low carb nut cookies, however, our recipe uses very little Xylitol*. Because I don't like it that sweet.
The best cookie recipe ever: Low carb rum balls
Chocolate yes or no?
Definitely yes. Even if you value a very healthy diet, you can still have a piece of chocolate in between meals. If you're a little more strict about it, you can of course do without chocolate.
We take extra sugar free dark chocolate*. You don't need to have a guilty conscience. Dark chocolate* is supposed to be super healthy :)
Do not forget the spices
What goes better with nuts than Cinnamon*? Absolutely nothing. That's why a lot of Cinnamon* in the cookies. By the way, cinnamon is a great fat burner and is even said to help with weight loss.
You can also still use peanut butter, vanilla, orange zest and co in the recipe. However, we keep it simple. The lighter and fewer ingredients, the better. There is more time to enjoy the low carb nut cookies :)
How to cut low carb nut cookies correctly?
Nut cookies without a triangle shape are not nut cookies. Right? :) They don't have to be perfect, they don't have to form a triangular shape, but at least they have three nice corners that you can dip in a little chocolate.
The trick is to cut the low carb nut cookies when they are still a little warm. Not hot, but lukewarm.
If you cut them cold, the corners may break off. And that would be a real shame.
Cut the dough first into rectangles. And then into triangles. For the chocolate, everyone handles it differently. You can either dip the corners or spread a little chocolate on the dough with a fork or spoon.

How do I store the nut cookies properly?
Refrigerated and in a cookie jar, the low carb nut cookies will last the longest. If you don't have a cool place to store them, prepare smaller quantities. They taste best fresh anyway.
Always put a lid on the cookie jar so the cookies don't dry out. I prepared 24 and took them to the office. Within 3 hours they were all eaten up. :)
Our conclusion
Omnomnom. Cookies can also do without carbohydrates and taste wonderful! These low carb nut cookies taste especially like Cinnamon* and caramel. Simply fantastic :)
