Keto/Low Carb Holiday Cookie Recipes! No Almond Flour- Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2021
- Gotta have Keto Holiday cookies, so I got to work on a bunch. Peanut Butter Blossoms, Sugar cookies and whipped shortbread were the three I nailed. They are so tasty and from what I remember they taste just like regular Christmas cookies, haven't had one in almost 2 years. These have satisfied that need for a Christmas cookie, for sure! Hope you think so too!

I wish I could have brought you a French macaron for Christmas but these 3 cookie recipes are delicious been snacking on them all week! If you want a soft and chewy cookie you can add any holiday mix ins to - czcams.com/video/DFRwyDXplC0/video.html
I am definitely giving all of these a try; thanks for all your hard work :) all your work with the Macarons too!
Once I stopped making 'sweet' substitutes, my craving for sweets went away, even chocolate! in fact, now I find cakes, icing, etc. revolting! only warm French bread, real German rye bread, and pasta can entice me, and as long as I give in, I guess I'll never be able to give up! help! xoxoxo
@@siboneypeltier2307 Not sure what you need help with? Giving up bread or pasta? What are you asking?
Hi, Thanks a lot! I love your recipes, the scoopable vanilla ice cream came out awesome! For these cookies can I use egg white Powder instead of protein powder? Cheers 🙂
I meant instead of whey protein 🙂
When I SAW NO ALMOND FLOUR I HAD TO WATCH THIS!
I know! It's rare!! Lol but I have an allergy in the family and he's doing keto and I don't like the texture it gives all our baked goods.
Hi My favorite Ched Alicia! These cookies are awesome! My favorite is the Eanut Butter Blossom & my husbands is the Thumb Print😋😋I also love the Italian Whipped Butter Cookie❤️😋😋 starting February I’ll be in your $3 Patreon Group!! Just love all your recipes & watched your “Live” Chicken Pot Pie & chocolate croissants!! Yummy!
Wish you did more “Live” vieos, but understand your business!
Can’t wait til you do your wedding cake!!
I’m looking for the day you you have your own brand!! My husband & I pray for you everyday for all you do for us Keto Normies❤️👏🏻😋😋😋You & your Fiancé Stay safe & well!
Thanks for the lovely comment, so glad you are enjoying my recipes! Thank you very much for becoming a patron of my channel and thank you for prayers and well wishes. I will hopefully will be doing more lives in the future, stay tuned! Lol😊💗
I'm making your whipped shortbread today. My great-great-grandmother was a pastry chef in England, and that's the recipe I have used for the past 50 years I've made Christmas shortbread. But since June 2013, I stopped eating sugar and grains to improve my health. I've never used salted butter in baking before, but I'm going with your expertise here. And I just became a patreon for your channel. I love your content, and story. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Oh WOW!!! Those are gonna be some high standards!!! I hope I don't let you down and can bring you back your beloved baked goods! Thank you very much for becoming a patron, I really appreciate the support!!! You are so welcome, I really hope you enjoy!😊💗
Love your channel! I feel like I should "thank you for your service" to the keto community! I do have a request. Can you let us know whether and how/how long a recipe can be frozen? I live alone (and am older so I have fewer calories to spare for treats), and having these around the house leads me to over indulge. If I could store them in my basement freezer, I might be able to enjoy them without getting into trouble :) You are a treasure!
Thank you and you are much welcome! I would scoop/roll all the dough just like I did in the video and instead of baking them, freeze them like that, then put in a freezer bag once solid, then pull out and defrost on a sheet tray before baking. The dough will last 4-6 month in the freezer. If you want to bake them all off, let them cool then put in a freezer bag, they will last about 2 months like but they won't taste as good doing it that way. Hope that helps!
@@KetoUpgrade Thanks! If you think of it, adding tips like that to new recipes would be appreciated.
Divide dough into portions to bake a little at a time, to freeze. Wrap in plastic and then tinfoil.
When I was doing gluten free (similar enough, but with real sugar) the actual bake good would freeze fine. Harder to eat frozen so thawing it, slows the eating!
I made the shortbread cookies with lemon extract and vanilla whey protein. It came out really good. I am so glad I found this channel.
Oooo that sounds good!!! Glad you liked them!
Have you ever done a keto pizzelle cookies? I just love these especially the anise flavored ones
Not yet but its definitely on the list along with cannoli shells.
I really appreciate the instruction in baking principles along with the recipes!
I sent my daughter your shortbread recipe at Christmas and she made pecan shortbread cookies that were absolutely divine. Thank You.
Wow!!! They sound yummy
Just made the shortbread cookie and all I can say is you are a genius. These are amazing. You have inspired me to get back to baking. Thank you for your time and videos. God bless you and your family
Aww thank you for the comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed!!! You're very welcome and bless you too.
Thank you so much for giving all of us a baker’s perspective on keto adaptations. Much appreciated.
You are so Welcome!!!
I’m excited to try these!
I'm excited to try these. They look delicious!
Beautiful!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! And you are most welcome! 😉
New subscriber 😊 can’t wait to try these!!
Thank you cannot wait to make this weekend
I made a batch of both the shortbread cookies and the PB blossoms yesterday and OMG are the delicious!!! So good in fact that I’m making another batch of the shortbread cookies today!!! I’ve been buying store bought keto cookies and they are expensive!!! and also just… ok. Both these recipes are so easy and so yummy - no one would even know they are keto! You ROCK Chef Alycia!!!
Aww yay, that's my goal!!!! Thanks!!!
I’m confused. Your written instructions don’t say anything about eggs, baking soda or gelatin for the shortbread, but your video does. Are the macros for your video or your written recipe. Thank you.
I have my shortbread in the fridge and the sugar ingredients to go but, I just noticed Alicia seems she’s using a 8 onz butter stick, but I followed the written instructions. May I know how much butter did you used
You made my year! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awesome!! You are sooo welcome!
Excited to try these!
Thank you!
Merry Christmas

Thank you for sharing these three recipes, they look amazing and you have great advice about not cooking too long being Keto.
You're Welcome!
Ooh these look amazing! Looking forward to seeing the Lofthouse recipe! I love those!
Thanks! They are pretty delicious 😋 Hopefully I'll figure those out soon😀
YUMMMM!
I just watched your vid on the jam cookies! Raced into the kitchen and grabbed some strawberries, blackberries, and the allulose! OMG! Its jam, oh yes its jam! Choczero do jam, but its $8.99, so thank you, thank you!🥰😇
Forgot to say, I have been KETO for 7 years, and why on earth don't you have more subscribers! Off to spread the word!
Haha, Awesome!!! You are so so welcome! So glad I could help!!! Thank you for spreading the word! I want to help as many people as possible have all the delicious keto desserts!
Yummy 😋 I just found your channel… can’t wait to make these!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy!😉
I am so happy I found your youtube channel. I have been looking for cookie recipes and bread and others that are keto. I can't wait to try them all
Yay! Me too! Hope you love all of them!!!😉💗
Just discovered your channel. I’m keto since August. With the holidays approaching, I appreciate your recipes.
I'm glad to help!! Hope you enjoy the recipes!!!😉
I just found you! I have learned so much from this video! I can’t wait to watch more. Thanks!!
Awesome! So glad you learned things! You're welcome!
New subscriber cause I just found you. And so glad I did. I needed some really good keto cookies, not the usual few everyone does ( that aren't that good). So thanks for the written out recipes with all the macros. What a sweetheart. Looking forward to seeing more of what ya got! Unfortunately I can only do recipes where a hand mixer will work. Or a vitamix.
Awesome, thank you for subscribing!! Hope you enjoy my cookie recipes! I feel like most of my recipes you can use a hand mixer for, it's just sometimes easier to use a stand mixer. Really the only one you probably don't want to do with a hand mixer is the nougat, cause your arm may fall off, lol.😋 It's my pleasure!!
I’ll definitely be trying these. Thank you so much for sharing .
Awesome, hope you enjoy!! You're Welcome!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Where have you been all my life! I just found you and I’m so excited to try your recipes! 🎄🎁🥳
Don't know where I was all your life but I've been here on CZcams for a year and a half, lol. Glad you are excited, hope you enjoy!!!!😉😉
I absolutely love watching your channel. I too, have a sweet tooth and need keto cookie recipes.
I can’t wait to try your cookie recipes. Cookie recipes have probably been the toughest desserts to successfully keto-fy. I’ve tried several recipes and none of them really worked except for a ginger cookie recipe that was supposed to be a ginger snap recipe but came out like a soft cookie instead. It was pretty cake-like in its texture but it still tasted good. So, I’m looking forward to a cookie recipe that really works as a cookie.
These are all pretty spot on, I enjoyed them thoroughly and so did everyone else I gave them too, mostly non keto peeps! I tend to test stuff on people at work because they eat the real thing all the time, lol. Hope you enjoy them!!!😊
I need to buy some gelatin so that I can make the peanut blossoms. Very excited! I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks for all your hard work; hope you get more subscribers soon since you are like an undiscovered gem!
So glad you are excited, I'm excited for you to try them!!! You are so welcome!!! I'm quickly growing right now, hopefully it keeps going! People are starting to share my video links which I think is helping me get noticed more. YAY!
Thank you for all your recipes. It is so generous of you to share. Thank you for being so real and authentic. I love your channel. Good luck with your baby. When the time is right, your bakery will be awesomely successful. Your hard work shows! People like me who don't often comment so appreciate people who work so hard to make it easy for the rest of us.
You're welcome!!! Thank you so much!
Superb
I am so happy I found you!
Me too!!! Hope you enjoy my recipes!
Omg so delicious 🤤 thx for this tasting n wonderful recipes 🥰🎄🎉🙏🏼
You are so welcome!!! 😊💗
I just found your site and I am thrilled! II love the fact that you explain things so well. THANK YOU
Glad you are liking it!!! You're very welcome!
Ooh. I'm very interested in your cookie recipes. I love that you are a chef.
Hope you enjoy!!!
Awesome directions
Thank you!
Hi Alycia! I just found your channel and this video! I’m so grateful for these cookie recipes as I’ve struggled with baked goods with almond flour (almond sensitivity). These are just in time for holiday baking. Have a blessed day and year ahead. 😊
Glad I can help, most of my recipes are almond free (and I have a lot) because I have an allergy in the family and don't particularly like the texture it gives keto baked goods.
I love shortbread cookies. Thanks so much for the recipe. The blossoms look delicious too, must try! :)
So glad you enjoyed!! You're very welcome!
🎄❄️⛄️ Seriously, one of the best Keto friendly cookie recipes - ever; these ‘almond free’ cookies to be added to my Xmas party desert tower.
Thank you! So honored they are going to be adorning your dessert tower!!
Will be making them this year for Christmas
Merry Christmas chef. And TY for your recipes. I am going to try to make your peanut butter cookie for my family. Blessings.
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too! You are so welcome, I hope you enjoy those cookies, they are yummy!!!
You are so productive!
Thanks! It comes from almost 20 years in the restaurant business, if you don't learn to be as productive as possible you won't make it far.
Thank you. My keto shortbread cookies came out really good. I need it when I drink coffee in the morning.
Awesome, you're welcome!! Enjoy with that coffee, my fiancé has been also!
All those cookies sound yummy! Your instruction is great. Thank you
You're welcome!
Girl .. I so appreciate you using same ingredients…bless you 💋🌹💋
I love the way you explained everything as you go period And I just logged your Channel.
Yay! Thank you!
Oh my gosh!!! You saved Christmas!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
Lol yay! You are so welcome! I'm sure pizzeles will be coming next year if not earlier.
I'm going to be making your cheese danish soon and I can't wait!
Hope you like it!
you do the BEST keto desserts on youtube!
Aww thank you! Means a lot to me to hear that!😊
Love your channel. I can’t wait to make some of these. How about a thumb print cookie recipe? Btw you have the best recipe for ice cream even my kids will eat it. Thank you for all you do
Thank you! I would love to do a bunch of cookie recipes, but only being able to get out one video a week, I'm limited on recipes because I want to put out Christmas desserts and Christmas morning bakegood recipes too. So much I want to do and just not enough time in the day, lol. I'll put the thumbprint recipe on the list though! You are so welcome! Glad you are loving the ice cream, that's my favorite recipe I've developed!
Oh, My Those look incredible! I know it's not Christmas, but I do want to bake these now.
The peanut butter cookie recipe is perfect!
Thank you!
These are amazing. I have been skeptical to try Keto sugar cookies, but thought I would give it a try. The texture and flavor are spot on. You are gonna have a hard time finding a recipe that is any closer to the real thing. I even broke down and bought a rolling pin with bands, it made the task of rolling out the dough so much easier. Thank you so much for putting in the time to perfect these delicious treats. I can’t wait to see what you have for us next.
Yaay!! So happy you tried them and thought they were super close to the real thing. I get worried sometimes because I have been on keto for a year and a half and haven't cheated with sweets so haven't had many of these cookies in a long time! Thank you so much for trying and commenting!!! You are so welcome!!😊
Those all look really good. The cookie cutter sugars are always a staple in our family. I will try and sneak a few of these in!
Thanks! I feel like there are for a lot of families, I think they taste like regular sugar cookies, so no problem sneaking them in, lol.
Hojarascas and polvorones are what we call them here in the valley in south texas! But we make them in two versions, one covered in cinnamon sugar and the other covered in powdered sugar, usually in a lady finger type shape 😊 both usually crunchy. So glad you made a keto recipe, I really missed eating them!
Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊❤❤
You're welcome! 😊
I always used dark brown sugar for peanut butter cookies. I love the brown Swerve as a replacement.
I love how you explain the science behind it. Just bought myself a Kitchenaide mixer today in anticipation of trying a lot of your recipes. Thank you for all your hard work - Cheryl
I'm glad you are enjoying my videos!!! Yay new kitchen equipment is always fun!!! I hope you enjoy my recipes, you are very welcome, I'm happy to help!!!😊
You are a godsend! I have been keto for awhile now & its been hard to give up my sweet tooth! Im so excited to try these & im seeing this just in time before the holidays! I am forever grateful for you! ❤
Aww thank you! I hope you enjoy them!!
I made the whipped shortbread cookies. They are delicious! Thank you! Actually, I would say these might be the best keto cookie I have made and I have been living keto for over three years.
That's awesome!!!! Thank you so much for commenting!!!!😊💗 You're so welcome!!!
Ok. I haven't even watched the video but the title has me SUPER excited! Nothing against almond flour. I just want crispy cookies!!! Lol
Edit: Having watched the whole video I'm losing my mind ready to make ALL of these!
I'm a Butter/Danish Butter cookie fanatic! Such a great idea with the single chips. You're exactly right. The one huge kiss breaks up the cookie. So excited to try these. 💕💕💕
Yay glad you are so excited!! I hope you enjoy and I'm glad you are on my side with the chocolate chips, lol!
Just found your channel and LOVE it! Thank you for sharing your great recipes and posting them in written form here as well!
Do you have any good CRUNCHY cookie recipes by chance? I only have ONE and it’s getting old! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Awesome!! So glad you love it!!! Check out my cookie playlist czcams.com/play/PLDA690SIIES1ifjMhMryT-_0fJKGraMuc.html I have tagalongs, oreos and thin mints.
I just made your pb blossoms. Thank you so much, they were delicious!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the lovely comment! You're very welcome!
Thank you for these and all you do! I recently tried Purecane powdered sugar in chocolate buttercream frosting and it came out tasting like normal chocolate frosting! The best I've made so far, no cooling effect.
Your channel was in my video feed…. What a great surprise! I’m looking forward to checking out more of your videos :-) Thank you for the no almond recipes!
Awesome, glad that the algorithm is working to get my channel to interested peeps!!! Hope you enjoy the videos and recipes. You are so welcome, I have an allergy in the family and never really liked the texture it gave keto baked goods.
Your tip about whipping the sweetener with the butter for a longer period is a cookie game changer….. and the whipped shortbread cookies reminded me of buttery spritz cookies that have always been a favorite. Happy Holidays!
@@erikapoindexter342 awesome! Thank you, glad you like the recipes!😊❤
Thank you
You're welcome
“Just Kidding”….you’re funny reminded me of my daughter..
Thank you for such amazing recipes. I will try it ASAP…
Haha, glad you enjoy my videos. You're Welcome!!! Yay, hope you enjoy!!
