I’m ok where coconut is concerned, but not in snickerdoodles.

I just made the recipe for the first time, exactly as written. For the sweetener, I used about 3 T Lakanto monkfruit (contains erythritol) and a little over 2 T allulose (so about 1/3 cup sweetner).

The coconut flavor, with just 16 g coconut flour (2 T) is just way too strong for snickerdoodles. Next time, I’m going to omit the coconut flour and try with 180 g almond flour, as Tatiana says.

I’d also advise using parchment on the baking sheet – that allows you to pull the cookies off quickly without them falling apart, if they happen to be getting a little over done. I think they’d tend to fall apart even if you let them cool completely on the baking sheet without parchment.

As the recipe is written, the cookies taste fine, BUT they don’t really have the true snickerdoodle taste; I’m hoping it’s mainly the coconut flour that is the problem. I’m a bit of a snickerdoodle purist, and before changing to a keto diet, would make the basic Betty Crocker snickerdoodle recipe, which I think is perfection as far as snickerdoodles go (purchased snickerdoodles don’t even come close to home made). Might need a bit more cream of tartar, too.

I appreciate the recipes on this site – I’ve made a few others (the keto meatballs are good, with almond flour).

Thanks for letting me know this works Rachel!

Well isn’t this super duper awesome to hear Mark! Glad I can be of service (and save you guys some $!!!) 😉

Ooooooh Evelyn that sounds like a ridiculously *great* idea! Thank you for sharing your experiments with me 🙂

If by monkfruit sweetener you mean Lakanto (i.e. erythritol with a bit of monkfruit!) definitely yes! Carbs stay the same xo!

Hi Mark! I’m not sure I’m understanding your question… because every time I measure almond flour 1 cup = 96g? Alas, thank you for taking the time to share your experience (always appreciate it so much!)

And I’m glad to hear they came out great in the end 😉

I just made these and they’re great. I have to agree with Penny, though. When weighing out the almond flour, I only get 1 cup out of 120g. The English conversion says 1 1/4 cups which works better, I think, in this recipe and is what I used. Just fyi in case it matters to anyone. The nutrition listed is also based on 120 g of almond flour and should be adjusted higher if using 1 1/4 cups of the flour.

Anyway, thank you for the recipe. They came out great.

Mark thanks so much for sharing in such detail! I literally just got the King Arthur sweetener delivered yesterday to try (because, like you said, keto sweeteners in cookies really are a pain lol). Thanks again for the pointers, now I’m extra excited to try 🙂
