It’s definitely cookie-baking season, and if you follow my blog it’s probably obvious that I’m much more of a cook than I am a baker. But even someone like me who loves savory recipes will crave something sweet occasionally, especially during the holidays. And this collection of My Favorite Flourless Sugar-Free Cookies features the low-carb cookies I make over and over!
And all these cookies are also gluten-free, so you should be able to make them for just about anyone. If you’re looking for a cookie recipe that doesn’t have sugar or wheat flour, I hope you enjoy trying some of my faves!
What ingredients make these cookies flourless and sugar-free?
Most of these cookies use Almond Flour (affiliate link) or another nut flour as the base of the cookie. They’re sweetened with Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link). You can also use Golden Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) if you prefer but sometimes I find Classic Monkfruit will dissolve better in recipes that don’t have much liquid.

These tasty Ranger Cookies have been updated so they are now Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free, and this cookie that’s now made with almond flour has pecans, unsweetened coconut, sugar-free chocolate chips, and just the tiniest amount of oatmeal (with an option to use oat fiber if you prefer.)
This year I also updated the recipe and photos for these Sugar-Free Coconut Macaroons, after I decided the original recipe was just a bit too sweet. (The post has a link to the original version in case anyone prefers the sweeter cookies.)
These Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies are a new cookie recipe, and this was completely a wow for us when we tested the recipe!
Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Almond Cookies have almond meal, almond butter, and chopped almonds, and if you have almond extract a small amount of that will bump up the almond flavor.
I love the chunks of peanut in these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies, but use smooth peanut butter if you prefer!
If you like the idea of a shortbread cookie, you can’t go wrong with Chocolate Shortbread Cookies!
Almond Flour Flaxseed Cookies are a gluten-free and sugar-free cookie that reminds me a bit of Snickerdoodles, and I love the idea of using some flaxseed meal in a cookie.
I’m reminding you about these favorite Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies as a bonus even this is not really a Christmas cookie. But these are definitely one of my favorites because even though I’m not too much of a sweets eater, I’ve always loved peanut butter and they’re flourless and gluten-free.
And finally, these Flourless Sugar-Free Pistachio Cookies are an older recipe, but these are definitely some of the best cookies I’ve made.
Happy holiday season to all my wonderful readers and blogging friends. Whatever you’re doing to celebrate the holidays this year, I hope you have a chance to enjoy being with the people you love!

The Coconut Macaroons are our favorite cookie recipe. They are by far the best sugar free cookies that we have tasted. I even gave some to my very healthy doctor for Christmas. I am so happy that I found you and your wonderful online site. I am gluten and dairy intolerant. My husband loves eating this way too even though he doesn’t have allergies.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
So glad you are enjoying that recipe. It sounds like you might be making the previous version, so use the link in that post to get the earlier recipe. Merry Christmas to you too!
I find that after I make the almond flour cookies that I feel like I have a throat full of sawdust. Also, the cookies are always soft? Any idea what I am doing wrong?
No idea why that is happening to you. What brand of Almond Flour are you using.
The cookies are delicious for me with good texture and they aren’t ever too soft either.
Thank you for the great recipes to make for myself & my carb free friends this Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Same to you. Hope you enjoy the cookies!
One thing I’ve learned to NEVER use in my keto/sugar-free baking is any of the powdered sweeteners because the erithrytol used in them ruins the baked goods. I’ve had great success using a monkfruit-stevia blend sweetener that’s available in Walmart (Amazon doesn’t carry it, oddly), and with monkfruit classic.
I’m typically making baked goods only for myself, though, so only have to consider whether I like it.
I don’t think I’ve ever used powdered sweetener in a cookie, at least I can’t remember using it. And I prefer Classic Monkfruit over the Golden Monkfruit, unless the recipe has a lot of liquid.
Thank you for this nice cookies recipes selection, Kalyn! I especially did like your Triple Almond Cookies recipes. I made them a few days ago and they turned out very tasty!
Merry Christmas, Kalyn!
So glad you enjoyed them! Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long enough to put in a Christmas cookie tin?
Van, I’ve kept my extra cookies in the freezer (so I wouldn’t eat them too quickly) so I’m not completely sure how long they will keep. But I think they will keep several days with no problems, i just can’t say for sure.
These look so good! It is amazing that they are sugar free! Can you substitute any other sweeteners?
Most any granulated sweetener should work in these cookies, as long as it’s a sweetener that you use 1:1 like sugar. Most granulated sweeteners are made that way.
Kalyn, I finally got a chance to bake the pistachio cookies, but used brown “sugar” splenda instead of the regular splenda. I refrigerated for about 6 hours and they turned out great! Very moist (which surprised me) and my co-workers ate them up! A keeper for sure! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
I love that you featured sugar-free, and even gluten-free cookies — everyone should be able to enjoy Christmas treats!
We had gluten-free apple crumble and for once dad managed to get it just perfect! Hope you had a great Xmas, Kalyn, and wishing you and all your family a very happy New Year.
A Merry Christmas to you, Kalyn! These cookies look healthy and delicious. I didn’t make cookies this holiday season but your have inspired me. “See” you in the new year!
What delightful looking cookies! A great idea!
Cheers and Happy Holidays,
Rosa
Sorry I have been a little missing in action replying to comments here. I’m trying to unplug from the computer and relax for a few days, but I do appreciate all the Christmas wishes from everyone. Hope you guys are all having a great holiday too.
The peanutbutter cookies look like a real winner, and I’m intriqued by the use of flaxseed in the other recipe. Hope you’ve been enjoying a wonderful holiday!
Kalyn, Happy Holidays to you too! Have a very prosperous 2009. All the best!

I’d love to taste those sugar free cookies. I’m so old fashioned when it comes to sweetness and thus need to be converted!
Terrific recipes Kalyn – thank you!
Merry Christmas week!
Enjoy the holidays! :O)
Happy Holidays =)
Merry christmas, kalyn…
I’m very happy to have learn to know you

Kalyn, I’m thrilled to have these recipes! We’ve made the flourless peanut butter cookies dozens of times, but I haven’t tried any other flourless cookies—these are so cost-effective for our gluten-free household!
thank you so very much!

Mmmm those chocolate and oatmeal clusters are calling my name!
Happy Holidays Kalyn, take care and I really look forward to following your posts in the New Year! xxx Bron
Kalyn, I like cheating and indulging in sugar & flour (hey it's the holidays) but I respect other's dietary choices.
I'd like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, health & happiness in 2009!
Merry Christmas, Kalyn. I know you’ll eat sensibly.
these are great recipes. i wish a lovely xmas with family and friends.
I’m definitely not much of a baker, but having a few sugar-free cookies in my repertoire would be great. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday, filled with lots and lots of cookies!
