Ah, the ever-popular keto snickerdoodle cookie dough. This is sure to be a new classic!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I have been busy in the kitchen planning for the holidays!
Yesterday I was in the kitchen all day working on a holiday cookie platter in preparation for upcoming holiday cookie swaps and get-togethers.
If you don't have any keto holiday cookie swaps planned, you should get on that!
I love most keto foods equally, but baking and party foods have always been my passion.
I love preheating the oven first thing in the morning and baking all day.
It reminds me of the baking days I shared with my mom before Christmas.
We would spend all day together cooking up a storm, and I will never forget those days.
I also want to pass those memories down to my own children.
One of our favorite recipes was always Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Balls.
Though they sound like they would be raw cookie dough balls, they are cooked.
I try to bake anything that has eggs in it unless, of course, it's eggnog!
Let's get on with it!
I always try to make my cookies the same size, so I usually form a square and have been known to measure it with a ruler to make my lines!
Once you have your balls formed, don't forget to roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture!
Don't they look delightful!
Once they are done baking, let them cool before displaying them.
Keto Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Balls:
I love dough balls because they add style to a plate full of regular cookies!
Especially when dusted with cinnamon and sugar!

If I don't have powdered stevia, how much Swerve would you suggest I use as a substitute.
ketosizeme says
Hey, Deborah! I have never used Swerve but from what I understand it should be the same amount. I am ordering some today so I can try it. Swerve replaces sugar 1:1 as does Stevia, which is why it's my assumption that Swerve and Stevia should also be 1:1. Of course, this also depends on personal taste so you may want to dust lightly the dough on the outside if you think to roll the cookies in it will be too strong for you. Let me know how it works out for you as I would love to include that in the post if you find it's too sweet. Thank you 🙂
Alex says
You can put the required amount of Stevia in a blender and blend for about 10 seconds powdered stevia
Brooke says
Hi! I was hoping to use coconut flour instead. How much would you recommend?
ketosizeme says
Hi Brooke, I'm really not sure, but this is what I found for you: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/substituting-coconut-flour-for-almond-flour.html. Let me know if that helps!
Whitney says
What is considered one serving?
Cassie says
I would love to read your biog. But I read on my smartphone most of the time.
There are so many ads covering the pages and opening, that it takes 2 minutes to read a 4-6 sentence paragraph.
Your recipes look great. If I run across your blog again when I am at a laptop. I will see if it has fewer ads.
Just wanted to let you know, in case ads aren't supposed to cover your blog.
Cheryl Hunt says
These were really good. Nice cookie texture initially. I put them in Tupperware overnight, not wanting to leave them out, but the next day, they were soft and more like a doughnut consistency. Any thoughts?
ketosizeme says
Hi Cheryl, I made mine last year around the holidays and if I remember correctly I left them out for two days before finally putting them in a Ziploc bag in the pantry. Maybe next time try keeping them out for two days and see if that helps. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Courtney says
What kind of Almond Flour do you use? My Bob's Mill is 6g (3net) per quarter cup. Just the almond flour alone puts this recipe at 1.5 per cookie.
April says
My first batch of these turned out perfect, and of course the few extras I had, I took in to work and wow they went fast! Since they were such a hit, I decided to make them again and double the recipe. Well they were still amazing, they all turned into cookies instead of keeping their "ball" form like the first batch. Can you offer any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? I would love to make lots of them for office parties, get togethers, etc!
April says
Any ideas keto size me???
ketosizeme says
The only thing I can think of here is that the baking soda and tartar could be kept the same and not doubled. When I get back from vacation, I will try to recreate these in a party-size batch and see what happens. The kids have been asking for these anyway, so they will be excited about that! 🙂
April says
Thanks so much!!
Elena says
This recipe looks so good, aching to try it!
Any ideas what to use instead of cream of tartar? Most shops in Sweden doesn't carry that.
ketosizeme says
You can probably just try replacing the cream of tartar and baking soda with baking powder. I would start with 1/4 tsp and try that. Let me know how it turns out!
Gypsea says
I would also love to know what is considered a serving size and how many total this made for you. Thank you!
Tammy says
Could you freeze these?
Kayla says
I just had my first go at these delightful cookies and mine didn't stay in ball form. I'm wondering if I was suppose to use a different type of almond flour? I used unblanched almond flour/meal and my dough was very wet. Any ideas? I'm hoping they still come out tasty
April says
Kayla-I'm having the same problem. The first batch stayed in balls, but after that every batch has flattened out into cookie form. It may be the super fine almond flour I switched to. I hope we hear back from ketosizeme!
Nicole says
made these today, completely omitting cream of tarter (only because I didn't have it and the urge to make them was too strong to wait for a trip to the store) and they turned out so great! delicious! they did crack (tops have 2 or 3 big cracks across them) while baking maybe due to my laziness in procuring cream of tartar, and i didn't roll them in sugar, again, so lazy - but the end result was so perfect!
Marcie says
I didn't have the stevia in powdered form, so I substituted 1:1 with Swerve confectioners blend for the cookies and Swerve granular for the cinnamon coating mixture. Mine also didn't stay in ball form, they look like little mound cookies, but do taste great. Not quite like old-fashioned snickerdoodle cookies, but definitely tastely and hopefully enough to curb my sweet tooth!
