These amazing Keto Ginger Snaps Cookies are seriously good! They are thin, crispy, and have the perfect balance of ginger, spice, and sweetness.
One of my Nana’s favorite things is ginger in sweets; ginger cakes and chocolates are her jam. These cookies were created just for her!
The cookies come out of the oven very soft, but as they cool, they crisp up like a dream and snap when you break them in half. The texture and flavor of these ginger snaps is seriously good.
This Keto Ginger Snap Cookies recipe makes 15 serves. 1 serving is 1 cookie and has 1g net carbs.
Store your cooled Low Carb Ginger Snaps in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks.

Ok, I’m dying to try this recipe but am confused as to how to convert ounces to tablespoons or cups with the dry ingredients? Hope you can clarify and help.
Hi Donna, it’s very difficult to convert weight to volume, such as ounces to tablespoons, because one tablespoon of one ingredient will weigh more or less than another ingredient. I hope that makes sense. Do you have scales? Also, the recipe card has a metric converter, if that helps.
These cookies are delicious. I bake them in a silicone muffin tray and they come out perfectly round ☺️
Thank you so much for your feedback, Margaret. You’ve reminded us to get cooking, time for more ginger snaps!
sorry I am a little late to the comment section but thoughts on adapting to an air fryer…the electricity crisis is real in the UK and if I could make these in the air fryer I’d be delighted
Hi Jennifer,
I’m not too sure whether they will work in an air fryer. We just purchased one so we are getting the hang of it. Have you baked cookies in one before?
Can I replace the sukrin gold with other natural sweetener like erythritol?
Hi Charlene, you can replace it with Swerve but use the “Brown” version of Swerve.
How do I store these please. They really are delicious. Made them this morning for the first time.
Thanks Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
I store them in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks. I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!!
I have been on Keto for about 3 years and I have made many keto cookies. This is the first crunchy one I have made. Oh how I have missed the crunch! They are delicious. Thank you!
I’m trying to follow a low-carb diet but not exactly strict no carb, so I don’t have Sukrin Gold. Can I follow the recipe the same but with regular brown sugar, or will it affect the proportions/baking chemistry/etc.?
Hi Avani,
In all honesty, I could not tell you. I haven’t cooked with regular sugars for over 6 years, if you wanted to test it, please do, but I’m really not sure if the recipe will turn out or not.
We follow low carb, but not keto. I substituted the serve with Molasses, and used white sugar to roll the cookie in. I also added 1/8 c of coconut flour to accommodate extra liquid from Molasses. They turned out perfectly!
Awesome, so glad the tweaks worked out for you, Tammy.
