With This Cookie I Thee Wed
On the day Matt proposes to me I hope to god my ring is made out of Low Carb Snickerdoodle. Better yet, I hope the cookie itself proposes to me – Matt can spend his life with Chocolate Fudge Cookies (his favorite of the cookies)! 
To be honest, I made these cookies on a whim. Before I went to Whole Foods I didn’t say to myself “I’m going to get the Brown Sugar Truvia for some Snickerdoodle cookies.” In fact, I didn’t even know that there was a Brown Sugar Truvia. Although you can still make these without the brown sugar, this ingredient is the golden ticket to making the most amazing snickerdoodle cookies. That, and a little bit of love!
From the Brown Sugar, to the batter, to the cookies right out of the oven you’ll feel as good as you’d feel on your wedding day. And, for those of you out there who don’t know that feeling, give these cookies a try and you’ll understand the feeling I’m talking about. It’s a feeling of it’s own and can’t be duplicated – unless, you get married more than once that is hehe.
Marriage
Before I started baking heavily this past year baking cookies was one of the most daunting tasks I could take on. For one, I never knew which recipe was good so my cookies always came out different. I also only ever made them for people or events so I had the pressure of pleasing. You should know that making the right steps with cookies is like a good marriage. 
And, all you really need to know here is that these cookies WILL SPREAD in the oven. So, if you like your cookies small keep them in ball form. If you like them big and thin spread them out on the tray with your fingers to ensure maximum spread.
And, We Lived Happily Ever After
You definitely want to let these cookies sit for at least 20 minutes before you break into them. They will be extremely soft and crumble if you attempt to pick one up. I know it will be hard to resist, but your at the best part. 
The first time I tried these I truly surprised myself, and Matt. Neither of us expected to get it so good on the first try. The cinnamon brown sugar combination is truly it’s own match made in heaven! We ate most of the batch that night, and polished them off the following day.

Hi guys, I’m in Australia – can I use a blend of monk fruit & stevia to replace the monk fruit golden – it’s the only packeted item i can find in my local supermarket that’s closest to monk fruit… Or any other suggestions? I’m so happy I can have snickerdoodle cookies on keto! I have always missed the Lenny & Larry Snickerdoodle cookies!!!
I am sure you can use that blend. It might have a different taste as I think monk fruit golden is supposed to “mimic” brown sugar. But yes, that should work 🙂
I am also sure that you can buy it online if you can’t find it in stores.
Is the monk fruit in place of the truvia or do we use both?? I currently don’t have either but was going to order some..don’t want to get both if its not needed. These look so DELICIOUS.
It appears that the recipe uses both erythritol and monk fruit. However, you can use whatever sugar substitute you want. You can check out our “Best Sugar Substitute” article and our Low Carb Sweetener Conversion Guide.
Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie! I do not have Any monk fruit, Could I substitute stevia for the monk fruit? What would the ratio be for that substitution?
Can you use classic monk with golden monk instead of erythritol ?
Yes, that could work!
Does this call for the golden mink fruit, because I don’t see it in the instructions but I see it in the ingredients
It says mix the butter and sugars in the first step. The monk fruit is the sugars. Sorry about the confusion!
When you use the brown sugar truvia, is that in place of the golden monk fruit or the erythritol?
the erythritol – but, any sweetener you prefer will work fine!
I did not know you were getting engaged this week, but how appropriate I try this recipe now! So I must ask if your ring was made from snickerdoodle? These are so yummy! Made several tweaks b/c I don’t have LC brown sugar. Instead of 4 tbs of that, I did 3 tbs erythritol, 1/4 tsp of maple extract, and a tbs of fiber syrup. Also added a tbspoon of gelatin (per your suggestion on other cookies). THANK YOU for all the awesome recipes!
What if I can’t find trivia brown sugar? Is there something else I can use in place of it?
You can just use normal erythritol!
hi, can i use something in place of cream of tartar? i dont have that,and i really want to surprise hubby tonight
Hmmm….baking powder is a usual substitute.
Tried these with white Truvia and they were good. Tried again a week later but this I had had Brown Truvia delivered and what difference. They taste doubly good. Great recipe and perfect with an espresso.
any idea on how much stevia to use if not using erythritol? Love the site!
I think generally about 6-8 drops per tablespoon is what you’d want to use as a substitute.
Where have these been the past 4 years as I’ve tried – desperately and hopelessly – to cut back on sugar??!! These were amazing! I decided to dip the tops of each dough ball in a cinnamon/ erythritol mix before putting them in the oven, and I’m pretty sure that I will never again in my life come close to making a decision that reaches this level of sheer awesomeness.
Glad you liked them Jess!
Am I the only one who can’t see the butter in the ingredient list?
It’s 3rd from the bottom – 8 tbsp.
The hubby and I made these today, these are his fav type of cookie and they are fantastic. . . . just like the real thing!!! Amazing work you guys!
I made these for a work carry-in for a coworker who’s retiring and has a gluten allergy. EVERYONE loved them! Even if they didn’t have a gluten issue they loved how “real” these tasted. Will definitely make these again, they are super easy!
Can I substitute something else for the almond flour? My daughters are allergic to nuts. Maybe coconut flour?
Any advice would be great!
Not really. Coconut flour will make these super crumbly. Almond flour can’t be subbed 🙁
love the cookies megha
Thank you!
Great taste, and easy to make. My toddler ate one without hesitation. Thanks!
There are 24 net carbs in the almond flour according to Bob’s Red Mill label for 2 cups.
There are 48 carbs in the Truvia “brown sugar” according to the label…there is real sugar in that stuff btw 😉 reason it tastes like the real thing 😉
These are macros directly from the product labels using the link in the recipe. Remember there are 3 tsp to equal 1 tablespoon. The carb count on the Truvia label is based on HALF A TEASPOON. Perhaps you miscalculated Mehta?
That’s 72 carbs not including the other ingredients. So Steve, your food tracker looks to be correct.
You’re not subtracting the erythritol in the truvia. There are 24 net carbs coming from the 4T Truvia in this recipe.
I tried this recipe today and I love how the cookies came out. They are going to be a nice treat when I have a little carb room. I was trying to input it in myfitnesspal but didn’t see it published like some of your other recipes so I inputed the recipe myself.
I have a smaller cookie scoop and the recipe yielded me 35 cookies. When I divided the recipe by 35 I have higher net carbs (3.5) and higher protein (1.5) than you are showing yet my cookies are smaller. I am using every product you are using too.
I need to go back and see if there is bad information on myfitnesspal. I’m a little disappointed cause as far as it’s telling me 2 cookies is 7 carbs which is just under a third of the allowance.
Hi Steve! So happy to see you like the cookies. It might be My Fitness Pal nutrition – we’ve come across many ingredients that input the nutrition wrong. I also just double checked the nutrition and your net carbs shouldnt be so high. I’d suggest you go back and double check your MFP! Don’t worry though, you won’t be eating 7 net carbs per 2 cookies according to the recipe.
Hey Steve. By this time I’m sure you’ve figured it out but just incase, My Fitness Pal gives total carbs not net.
