This keto pumpkin spice snickerdoodle cookie recipe is seriously everything you want, need, and love in a cookie that – big bonus – you can make in less than 30 minutes. We are talking about a low-carb, chewy healthy dessert that tastes as good as homemade sin topped with chai spice cinnamon sugar.
So I’m a little late posting this keto pumpkin spice snickerdoodle cookie recipe, but I’d rather be a little tardy for the pumpkin spice party than a total no-show.
The truth is, I came up with this recipe this time last year after casually reading totally stalking the amazingly delicious food and photography on Half Baked Harvest. After I keto-fied Tieghan’s recipe for Pumpkin Chai Snickerdoodles, I got so caught up in all things Half Baked that I lost track of time, and, well, here we are a year later.
Better late than never, right?

As for me? Well, we may not KNOW one another, but I bet we are a lot alike. I’m a mom of three who, after trying to do all of the things, went through major struggle with depression and gained over 148 pounds. I lost the weight following a low carb diet, but did not lose my sweet tooth. I’m telling you now, these cookies are legit!
P.S. I wrote a book about how I lost that weight (and kept it off) that details how you can do it too. It’s called Rebel Keto, and you can check it out right here.

How To Make The Best Keto Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies Step By Step
- Preheat your oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Next, grab your hand mixer, or use a stand mixer to cream the butter until it’s softened, (This takes less than 60 seconds if you start with room temperature butter.) Then add in the erythritol, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly add in the almond flour ½ cup at a time. (if you dump it all in at once, you may get frustrated. Then add in the cream of tartar, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
- Grab a small cereal-sized bowl and mix the ingredients for the chai sugar. (Granular monk fruit + cinnamon + ginger + all-spice + cloves.)
- Now, roll the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and then generously roll each ball in the chai sugar before you transfer it to the cookie sheet. (You can use a small cookie scoop like this one to help you get the size right.)
- Space each cookie about 2 inches apart, so you don’t end up with one giant cookie:)
- Use the back of a spoon to flatten each cookie dough ball lightly. This step helps the cookies bake evenly and ensures you get the perfect-sized snickerdoodle experience!
