How to Make Low Carb Pecan Cookies
First you'll need to grind up some pecans – use a food processor or the blade attachment on a stick blender. The pecans are reduced to dust in just a few seconds! The finer the nuts, the better the cookies will be.
In a bowl, add an egg and beat to mix. Pour in the ground pecans and add some low carb sweetener. I use Lakanto – get 20% off if you use coupon code SAFTC! – but something like granular Swerve would be a good alternative. Mix well – it forms a loose “dough” very quickly.
Divide it into 12 sections and use a teaspoon to place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until firm. Let cool then transfer to a cooling rack. These cookies are best eaten within one day. However, if you have them around for longer they'll still taste good, just a little softer!
Seriously, these cookies are SO easy. Let me know what you think!!

These are so good!! But apparently I didn't read to the end. I just made these for a camping trip this weekend and it's only Tuesday. Do you think they will do ok if I refrigerate them?

What would happen if you didn't grind your pecans so fine. I like a little crunch to my pecans.

I haven't tried it but the cookie mixture might not hold together quite so well. But if you try it, let me know how they turn out!

Can swerve brown sugar be substituted for the monk fruit?

I haven't tried it because I didn't know it existed when I first made this recipe. But I bet it would be awesome! If you try it, let me know!

I used a cup of pecan meal, extra lacanto sweetener, dash of cinnamon. They are so dry, didn’t flattened out ????

@Melissa, I believe you lose the natural fat from the pecans if you use the meal. The ground pecans are full of it.

If you use a cup of pecan meal, rather than a cup of chopped pecans as the recipe states, you'll be using a lot more pecans by weight. And if you then increase sweetener, it's no surprise that they came out dry. Maybe next time try 3/4 cup pecan meal.

Thank You for the recipe I just made 3 batches. They are amazing just out of the oven. I have seen posts where some did not flatten out. Mine did not as well. Please tell me the pecan measurement is that before of after grinding the nuts to a meal ? I measured mine after grinding them and wonder if that is the difference. I used a sweetener blend, added cinnamon and plan to dip the bottoms in sf chocolate.

I'm so glad you liked them! The pecans are measured when chopped (as that's how I buy them for this recipe), but then they are ground after measuring. I hope that helps!
