It’s not Christmas without a crispy-on-the-outside, chew-on-the-inside, spicy gingerbread cookie! This keto gingerbread cookie recipe comes from All Day I Dream About Food and has about 3 grams of net carbs per cookie.

 
 

Keto Sugar Cookies

One of my hobbies is decorating cookies but the kind I make and gift to friends and family have lots of sugar and traditional royal icing. This keto sugar cookie recipe from Life Made Sweeter tastes just as good and has only about 1 gram of net carbs per cookie!

6-Ingredient Keto Fudge

OK fudge is not technically a cookie, but it's not Christmas without homemade fudge!

This keto-friendly fudge recipe is topped with walnuts, comes from Keto Pots, and has about 1 gram of net carbs per serving.

Keto Meringue Cookies

Meringue cookies are made from egg whites and sugar and are crisp and light and delicately flavored.

Traditionally flavored with vanilla, they can be flavored with other extracts like peppermint or almond. This Keto Meringue Cookie recipe comes from Keto Focus.

M&M Cookies are fun to make any holiday because you can use M&M colors to match the occasion, like red and green at Christmas, or orange and black at Halloween.
