Keto Pumpkin Cookies

You know what I miss the most while being in Keto? SUGAR! Like a brownie or cake or even gummy bears. I am always craving sugar and its so hard to get over the loss of sugar. Im always on a lookout for a great dessert that will give me that sugar feeling. So while scrolling through Pinterest, I came across a pumpkin cookie that sounded good. I love anything pumpkin! So when I find something with pumpkin and Keto, I've got to try it. 

I found the original recipe from Fit Mom Journey on Pinterest. I changed it up just a bit. I also didn't make the frosting but next time I would. I feel that they would have been better with the frosting. But It didn't stop me from eating a whole bunch of cookies! I even shared some at work, and they were pretty pleased with them! Keto for the WIN! 

Let me show you how I made these Pumpkin Cookies and what I thought about them. 

Ingredients 
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2/3 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

    2. Beat cream cheese, butter, pumpkin puree, and powdered sweetener. 


    3.Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy.

    4. Add in the coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, stirring until just combined.
    5. Drop by cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheets.
     
    6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the edges just barely start to brown. 

    7. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to countertop to cool. 1 sheet of cookies came out a little too done, but the other was just perfect. I think next time I will bake 1 sheet at a time.  

    Is this something you would make while on Keto?

    Keto Wednesday - Peanut Butter Cookies



    Alright... So I have posted a few dinner type recipes. Now its time for a desert! I crave sugar all the time. I see candy in the store and I WANT IT! I see a yummy maple donut just staring at me in the case, and I WANT IT! So I searched and search and decided to try this out. 

    I found this recipe on Pinterest - Click Here to find where I got it from!



    Even better, its SUPER Easy! 3 ingredients! Thats it! 

    I know! Easy! 

    Here's what you need: 
    1 cup peanut butter
    1/2 keto friendly sweetener
    1-2 eggs



    That's it my friends!

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix them all together and then plop them onto the lined pan. I use Amazon Silicon Pan Liner and I don't have to spray it. It just works amazing! And no, I'm not getting paid for that- I just love it so much! Then, use a fork to smash them down into a cris-cross pattern. 








    Bake them for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. 



    Let cool once you take them out before eating.


    I did tried a variant of this by adding 2 eggs instead of 1 egg and I thing that I like 1 egg better. With using 1 egg, I could roll them into balls before putting them on the pan. With 2 eggs, I couldn't. I though it would make then fluffier, but it didn't. 

    These are dense cookies and you really only need 1 or 2 to be satisfied of your sugar craving.
