These keto pumpkin cream cheese cookies are easy to make and taste fantastic. Since they are made with a mix of almond flour and pecan flour they are very low in net carbs. Though it is not a very common practice, I love to use pecans in my recipes. This is because they contain fewer net carbs than almost any other and taste amazing.
The only issue is that pecan flour can be hard to come by. That said, it is relatively easy to make at home. All you will need is regular pecan pieces and a food processor or high-quality blender. To make, simply put the pecans through the food processor until your mixture turns into a fine pecan flour.
That said, be aware that if you process them too long, the result will be a pecan butter spread. However, if this is too much trouble for your liking, you can find pecan flour at some specialty stores as well as on Amazon.
In addition, these keto pumpkin cream cheese cookies are also loaded with–you guessed it–cream cheese. The cream cheese helps to keep these low-carb cookies soft and moist. This keto pumpkin cream cheese cookie recipe yields a total of 6 cookies.
Each cookie contains roughly 211 calories, 20.81 grams of fat, 17.16 total carbs, 2.24 net carbs, and 3.72 grams of protein.
