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!!

Hi, I watched the video and then mixed up the ingredients and my mix is much thicker than the one in the video which looks quite thin. Is there a secret to mixing this up to make it thinner?

We liked these. I added cinnamon to one batch and fennel to another. I used 3 TBSP brown sugar for sweetener. Even my non-nut-liker husband liked these! Thanks for easy recipe that tastes good!

These were amazing!! Thank you so much!! I am new to having to eat a gluten free diet. I can have cookies now? And they tastes amazing?! I can't tell you how happy I am I came across your page! I followed another user's comment to sweeten them up since I do love sweets. But, I tweeked using 2 tbs Splenda brown sugar sub and 1 tsp baking powder. Also added shredded coconut and some chocolate chips. Tastes like an almond joy flavored cookie!! Yummy!!! Even my teen daughter loves 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!
