Are cranberries keto?
Cranberries are lower in net carbs than blueberries. Per a 100g serving cranberries have 8g net carbs against 12g for blueberries. Although cranberries can be part of a keto diet, they are best consumed in moderation.
How to make keto cranberry cookies
We used dried cranberries for this recipe as fresh can be hard to find where we live and they can burst in cookie cooking. I like fresh in a cake or muffin but prefer the chewiness of a dried cranberry in a cookie.
When using dried cranberries check the labels for how they are sweetened and the sugar content. Alternatively, making your own with a low carb sweetener is easy.
Orange rind flavours the cookie and gives it a festive flavour. Although oranges are not keto you are only using 2 tablespoons of orange rind opposed to the whole orange.
Can you freeze the dough?
Not only can you freeze this low carb almond flour dough, you can make it ahead and keep it in the fridge for a few days before use. To freeze, wrap the dough in cling film and it should freeze up to 2 months.
How to store low carb almond flour cookies
Keep these cookies in an air tight container in the fridge. They will slightly harden but will not be too crunchy. The cookies should last for 5-6 days in the fridge. Congratulations if yours make it that long. Ours did not!
Recipe Tips
Add cinnamon to the cookies for a great flavour.
Drizzle with a lemon glaze or lemon cream cheese frosting for extra taste.
Be careful not to burn the bottoms of these cookies. Keep an eye on the cooking time as ovens can vary. We would recommend that the cookies are baked in the middle oven shelf too.
We used them and the dough cut into leaf shapes for our low carb pumpkin pie. Who can't say no to a plate of pie and cookies?
