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.

I dont know what I did wrong but they came out super flat and messed up.
If I’m using Swerve brown sugar, what is the conversion from the golden monk fruit?
Is there anything that I can use in place of the Monk Fruit Sugar? I finally got all my ingredients to make cookies but this is the first time I saw anyone use this in a recipe and so of course I didn’t buy any! Thank you
You can just use swerve or erythritol 🙂
Can I use coconut flour and not almond
I don’t think they would turn out as good, but you can try it. I would use 4x less coconut flour (than almond flour) though.
Wish I read this before getting started. If I had used just as much coconut flour, how would I salvage the batter? Another egg?
Hmmm – that’s a lot of coconut flour. I believe it’s 1 egg for every 1/4 c. coconut flour. Maybe add a few more eggs and liquid to experiment.
I ?d snickerdoodle in my former none keto life. Read the snickerdoodle cheesecake recipe in your cookbook and googled Kato made easy snickerdoodle cookie which led me to this recipe.
Friggin AMAZING!
Along with the dusting of cinnamon at the end… I sprinkled some freshly cracked Himalayan Pink Salt! Delish!
Thanks Matt & Megha!
I read above about the buying of Truvia brown sugar for the best cookie
I have read the recipe 3 times but couldn’t find the brown sugar as an
Ingredient. Did I miss it?
They ended up using monk fruit sweetener instead, but the brown sugar truvia is the best for flavor. You can use whatever you have and sweeten to taste.
If I’m using Truvia as my sweetener, do I half the sugar amounts?
You talked about Truvia, but then didn’t use it in the actual recipe.
Truvia is mainly erythritol. If you are cutting out the monkfruit, I would use a little more erythritol. If you are using the monk fruit, use the 4 tbsp erythritol (4 tbsp truvia) still.
I must be missing something… in the lead-in paragraphs you talk about using Truvia Brown Sugar substitute but your recipe has NO brown sugar listed. Do you use this INSTEAD of the Monkfruit or the erythirol or both or are you just missing the brown sugar on the ingredients?
The golden monkfruit is what we found and used, but works exactly the same as the brown sugar truvia 🙂 You can use either!
I entered every single ingredient in my carb manager and making 16 cookies it counted one carb per cookie net carbs. I did substitute the monk fruit sweetener for more swerve but I only use three extra tablespoons of swerve. The cookies came out perfect and almost a cake like consistency inside. The delicate crust had a great Crunch and they were ultimately satisfying for just one cookie. Thank you for making such an amazing recipe!
Thank, Olivia!!!
Hi! Do you have a recommendation for the scoop size to use to yield 20 cookies? Thanks for your time!!!
The scoop size is usually a 1 tbsp scoop for cookies
