Keto Pumpkin Butter Cookies Recipe

Sharing is caring!

These Keto Pumpkin Butter Cookies were inspired by my Keto Cinnamon Butter Cookies recipe.

When I shared that recipe, I had no idea that so many of you would try it, love it, and make it your own.

I have to admit I was blown away by your response to such a simple recipe.

That’s one of the reasons I decided to try to give you something just as simple now that we are nearing the holiday season.

You’d have to be living under a rock not to have noticed that it’s officially Fall!

Yay!

I love fall, and I love all things pumpkin.

Unfortunately, we must be very careful this time of year because, as I’m sure you know, the colder weather brings sweet treats and winter clothes.

Did I say winter clothes?

Yes, yes, I did.

Why would winter clothes be an issue? Well, believe it or not, getting bundled up can cause you to gain weight.

Even the great Arnold knew this secret because word has it he would wear cut-off shirts in the winter so he could always see his abs!

I’m not saying you should wear summer clothes year-round, but don’t forget to look at your body frequently during the winter, step on a scale, and stay focused.

Keto is not a summer sport.

This is a lifestyle!

Okay, now that the pep talk is out, let’s talk about these keto pumpkin butter cookies.

These bad boys are delicious. These cookies would pair perfectly with a keto egg nog.

They are lightly pumpkin flavored.

I didn’t want to go overboard with the pumpkin because I didn’t want the carb count too high.

If you want to pack a pumpkin punch, you can always add more pumpkin pie spice, but I wouldn’t add any more pumpkin unless you have carbs to spare.

How is it best to keep these? There is only one of me. Can they be frozen?

You can freeze them or you could even cut the recipe in half.

Great recipe. I made a few tweaks just because I always do. ;) I added a 1/4c of coconut flour , 1/4c smashed ripe banana, and swapped out half of the vanilla for maple extract. Also grated about a tablespoon of fresh ginger and used coconut nectar for my sugar. Dusted with coconut sugar on fork to press down the cookies. Delicious! Thanks again.

Loved these as I make them into small cookie sandwiches by using two cookies and adding a mixture of cream cheese/truvia into the middle!! Wish I could post the picture!

I used coconut flour thinking it would translate directly from almond flour... But but it turned out extremely crumbly. I tripled the egg and pumpkin for more moisture and added more spice and it got to the right consistency before ballin' up. Yay!

Actually, I also had to add another 1/2 c butter, because they still came out moist, but crumbly. For 2 c coconut flour, use 3 eggs, 1.5c pumpkin, and 1 cup butter, and more spice. I topped my cookies with a peanut butter cream cheese pumpkin spice fat bomb icing. :D

Made these today and I probably won't make them again. I added 2 tbsp coconut flour to help with the wetness of the dough. All in all the texture was ok, but they tasted rather bland. Everyone tried one and at best they got an "eh, they're ok." I might use a bit more pumpkin pie spice if I ever decide to make them again.
