Here me out. Low Carb Sugar Cookies but make them…sugar-free?! Trust me on this one.
That’s right – these Low Carb Sugar Cookies are actually free of sugar! Instead they are sweetened using monk fruit sweetener, which I’ve recently loved swapping out regular sugar and baking with. These cookies are also grain-free, gluten-free, and easy to make Paleo.

Can I use a different type of flour?
I have not tried this recipe using a flour other than almond flour. All-purpose flour or oat flour may work, but I highly recommend NOT using coconut flour as it has a very different absorption. For best results I suggest sticking to a super fine almond flour like this one.
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes! If you don’t want to use a monk fruit sweetener, you can sub in the same amount (1/4 cup) of either regular granulated sugar, maple syrup, or honey.
To make these cookies Paleo:
- Use melted coconut oil instead of butter
Some chocolate topping options:
- Instead of making a chocolate drizzle, you can simply add a square or chunk of your favorite chocolate right when you take the cookies out of the oven
- One of my favorite low carb chocolate brands is JOJO’s (code GRACIE10 for discount). I also love Lily’s stevia-sweetened chocolate chips
- If not Keto, one of my favorite Paleo-friendly chocolate options are Hu Kitchen gems + chocolate bars. Code GRACIE gets you free shipping!
What sprinkles should I use?
Sprinkles are optional, but for the sheer joy they bring, very much recommended 😉 Any sprinkles will work, but if you want a sugar-free/Keto option I love these from The Sprinkle Company.
These cookies are delicious “naked,” but the chocolate makes them a bit more decadent. Sprinkles aren’t necessary either but I’m pretty sure it’s a scientific fact that sprinkles are an instant mood-booster.
As always, if you make these Low Carb Sugar Cookies or any of my other recipes I’d love to see how they turn out! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @hungry.blonde!
