These Low-Carb Glazed Sugar Cookies are a delicious and keto-friendly baked good that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Low-Carb and Paleo Cookies
Have you noticed that I am allllll about low-carb baked goods? It’s my personal belief that eating a low-carb diet is the cornerstone to good health; however, I refuse to give up my love for desserts! In knowing that, I have loved to develop and share low-carb dessert recipes that are keto-friendly and full of flavor (many of which are also paleo- and/or Primal-compliant!).
These cookies in particular are one of my recent additions to my long list of favorite low-carb desserts! These Low-Carb Glazed Sugar Cookies are soft, sweet, and a perfect after-dinner treat! They contain minimal carbs per serving and are also paleo-compliant, dairy-free, and nut-free!
Nut-Free Sugar Cookies Recipe
These Low-Carb Glazed Sugar Cookies use coconut flour instead of almond flour. This means these cookies are entirely nut-free and safe to consume for those with a nut allergy and nut intolerance.
Glazed Sugar Cookies Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener
These cookies are sweetened with Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, my favorite keto-friendly, and all-natural sweetener. I almost exclusively use monk fruit sweetener in my low-carb dessert recipes and fat bomb recipes as I find it has the best taste and incorporates perfectly into recipes.
If you need to re-stock your pantry or if you’ve never tried monk fruit sweetener, I highly recommend it! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your Lakanto order!

Ingredients
Cookies
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 2/3 cup classic monk fruit sweetener (use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off Lakanto products)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1/3 cup classic monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2–3 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk, room temperature or slightly warmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a mixing bowl, add coconut flour, classic monk fruit sweetener, shredded coconut, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Add beaten eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer until wet and dry ingredients are well-combined.
- Form dough into 8 equal balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, lightly pressing down on the dough to flatten. Bake until edges are golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
- While cookies cool, for the glaze, pulse monk fruit sweetener in blender or food processor until powdered. Melt coconut oil in the microwave and, once melted, add to powdered monk fruit sweetener. Pour in 2 tbsp coconut milk and pulse in a blender until well-combined and a glaze forms. If glaze mixture is too dense, add additional tbsp of coconut milk. Transfer glaze from blender to shallow dish or plate. Carefully dunk the top of cookies in glaze and set on a cooling rack to harden.

Carlton Anderson says
These taste very good, but has anyone else had trouble with the quantities of the ingredients? After combining all of the ingredients, it was liquid, much more like a cake batter. No way I could make cookie dough balls out of it. I added a ton more flour to it, and it still came out more like pancake batter, and my “lumps” of dough ended up as a very shallow “lake” of cookies that I just had to cut apart into a dozen cookie “bars”. Did I do something wrong?

Sara Nelson says
Hi, Carlton! Did you use coconut flour, shredded coconut, and monk fruit sweetener? Those are all pretty dense ingredients, which will result in dough that you can form into balls. Adding more flour than the recipe intended would obviously yield a totally different recipe, like the cookie bars you mentioned (although those do sound good, too!).
Mila says
Hi! Can I use this frosting to decorate gingerbread cookies with? Does it stay put and then harden?
Sara Nelson says
That should work! Yes, it hardens after it has cooled.
Patti says
I have the Lakanto powdered monkfruit, can I use that for the frosting and if so would it be the same amount? Thanks!!
Sara Nelson says
Hi, Patti! You can use the powdered monk fruit sweetener at a 1:1 ratio in this recipe! And then just skip the step of powdering the sweetener in a food processor. Enjoy!
Ciara says
If I used cocunut from a can would it change the flavor or texture? Also if I were to use Erythritol how much would I use?
realbalanced says
Hi, Ciara! Canned coconut should sub in just fine for the glaze! Erythritol subs in for monk fruit sweetener at a 1:1 ratio. Enjoy!
Lisa says
Is the coconut milk from a can or carton type of milk?
realbalanced says
Great question! Coconut milk from a carton. Thanks, Lisa!
