Time to get your holiday bake on! If you are like me, and I know many of you are, you like to get a jump on your holiday cookies and treats. Wait until December? No way, that’s cutting it far too close. So I’ve finally done it and pulled together a collection of my best low carb holiday cookies. With a few new one recipes to boot. This is the eCookbook you holiday baking junkies have been waiting for. And all I can say is…sorry it took me so long!
I’m more than a little excited about this little endeavour of mine. While I also have a “real” cookbook in the works (and by real, I mean the kind printed on paper and put out by a traditional publisher), that won’t be out until Fall 2017. Those traditional cookbook things are a heck of a lot of work, as it turns out. But I have had so many requests over the years for collections of my best recipes and ebooks are much easier to put together. And what better way to initiate myself into the world of self-publishing than with a cookbook devoted to my favourite subject?
What you get in this book:
- 21 of the best low carb holiday cookie and bar recipes from All Day I Dream About Food
- 4 ALL NEW, never-before-seen delicious recipes to make your holidays special
- 1 bonus recipe for sugar-free eggnog (because hey, it’s the holidays!)
- Full colour photography
- Nutritional analysis of each recipe
- Advice on stocking your low carb pantry
- My best tips and tricks for successful low carb baking
And the first 200 people to purchase the ebook get a special reduced price of $4.99!
Really, let’s face it, this low carb holiday cookie ebook has it all. Let the low carb holiday baking begin!
Shannon says
I just purchased and reviewed all the delicious looking recipes, I’m so excited to make several of these to make our Christmas season “sweeter!” Thanks for all your hard work and time put into this, and all for $4.99. I look forward to many happy baking days, now to decide what to do first, Eggnog cheesecake bars or the Florentines…
Carolyn says
Thanks, Shannon!!!
Vicky says
Can anyone help? I purchased today and iPad and iPhone say i t downloaded. Paypal went through okay. How do I find it on y iPad or iPhone? Had this issue with apple products before. WBut forget to use laptop to download it. Thanks
Carolyn says
Hi Vicky. Most apple products have a download section. It’s probably there.
M says
Glad you got yours, I never did and I paid for it.
Honestly I have forgotten about it until now, many months have past!
Carolyn says
All you need to do is email me! [email protected]
Stephanie Deal says
WOO HOO – got my copy. Can’t wait to try some of these awesome recipes. 🙂 Thanks!!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Stephanie! <3
Kat says
are these THM low carb holiday recipes??????
Carolyn says
Yes! They are all THM friendly!
Rhadonda says
I just bought this. You are always so generous to share freely your recipes and I wanted to support you. Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to look through it!
Kat says
Well said Rhadonda! Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks Carolyn!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Caroline says
I usually read reviews as a procrastination tactic, but this reminded me how helpful fellow bakers can be – I had stubbornly settled on waiting until the new recipes were eventually posted online (I’m but a poor, lowly student, ok? Living on loans has clouded my mind!). Thank you, Rhadonda, for snapping me out of my “gimme” attitude. I certainly owe Carolyn a lot more than $5! (Plus, those secret recipes are WELL worth having before the holidays.)
Carolyn says
Aw, Caroline. That is very very sweet of you. I get it, living on student funds. It’s tough.
Carrie says
I was on this like white on rice!! Thanks, Carolyn!!
Patricia Tucker says
I could not get the book to print after paying, what do I do.?
Carolyn says
Did you download it already to your computer? What is your computer saying when you try to print?
Jan says
I got a link in my email and it sent to a page to download. I have a PDF of the book on my computer now.
Susan says
Thank you so much, Carolyn. I purchased my copy this morning. I was diagnosed with Type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes a few years ago and your recipes have been such a help in trying to manage this awful disease.
Carolyn says
I am so very glad to hear that!
Tamera Alexander says
Can’t wait to make the Florentines! Beautiful photography too, as always!
Carolyn says
Thank you! I love the photography part, although I am a total amateur!
Marcille Lytle says
OK, I don’t know if I messed up or not. I just purchased this and pushed return to merchant, thinking it would bring me back to your website. But it said payment wasn’t posted. Then, it gave me the return to merchant website and I got here. I just want to make sure that I didn’t try to return my purchase. I really love your recipes and am excite that you wrote a book.
Carolyn says
Hmmm….did you ever get an email for the download? If not, I can look you up by email and see if it went through properly…
Randy Elam says
I wonder if you could check my order also. Pay Pal show transaction completed but I haven’t received an email yet with the download. Thank you, Randy
Carolyn says
Please email me at [email protected] with your receipt and I will resend you the email.
Randy Elam says
I was wondering if you got the receipt that i emailed you? I sent it two days in a row because I can’t tell if it’s been sent ( not showing up in my sent box). If you could let me know I would appreciate it. Randy
Carolyn says
No, I have not. I have been responding right away to everyone who has had issues receiving the book. Because you had trouble receiving it and you are having trouble sending, I wonder if something is wrong with your email?
Carolyn says
Just did a search of your email address on my blog and found it in my own junk mail. I will be sending you a new link right away. Let me know if you don’t receive it.
Randy Elam says
I haven’t received the link yet. Although the Pay Pal email is different it goes to my gmail account. Geek kids set it up that way. Could you send it to [email protected]? Thank you for helping out. I can’t wait to see the recipes. Randy
Vickie says
Thank You, Carolyn for all your efforts to compile this wonderful book of Christmas Cookie Recipes! I am new to low carbs this year and knew I was going to be missing my favorite Christmas cookies this year, but you have saved the day! Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars and Spritz and Pizzelles, Oh My!!! I never would have dreamed I could still make and enjoy Spritz and Pizzelles!!! Keep your wonderful recipes coming! I truly appreciate all you do!
Carolyn says
Yay, that makes me so happy! If you have any baking questions, never hesitate to ask…
allison says
Just ordered mine. Cant wait to sit down and look through it!!
Carolyn says
You and a few other readers…seriously my biggest supporters and I love ya!
Lynn Biasini says
Ordinarily, I would not order a sweets book,BUT, although I am not really a baking kind of girl, I have NEVER EVER baked a recipe of yours (sweet or savory) that was not PERFECT!!! Your recipes are SO well written. How could I go wrong?? Thank you for your great work!!!
Carolyn says
Oh, thank you, Lynn! Glad I am the one who gets you baking!!!
Laurie says
Low carb nanaimo bars – yeah!!! Thanks for putting these all together – can’t wait to start baking again 🙂
Carolyn says
For my Canadian friends…and anyone who’s ever heard of them because they are the best!
Alice B. says
Oh Carolyn, I am so excited for you (and for us)!!! What a beautiful surprise to find that you created a wonderful ebook! Can’t wait for your “real” book next Fall.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the ebook and that you are putting into the “real” project!
Thank you for all you do!
Alice B.
Carolyn says
Thanks, Alice!
Jan says
Hi would love to get your ebook. But we are a nut free home. Do they all use Armond meal ?
Carolyn says
Yes, the majority of them use almond flour. do you ever use sunflower seed flour?
Lee says
Do these recipes use Almond Flour? I want to get your wonderful recipes, but cannot use almond flour. Thank You!
Carolyn says
Yes, the majority are made with almond flour. Do you ever use sunflower seed flour?
JOAN says
Great idea, great price, THANK YOU! Your recipes are always a treat.
Chocolate Rose says
Bought the book early this morning right as I was supposed to be leaving for work. I had to do this first! Just finished printing it out and I’m going to take it to have it coil bound this weekend. I’ve made several of the recipes previously so it will be nice to have an “official’ cookbook with the recipes and beautiful photos. Your recipes are by far the ones I rely on the most and know I can count on to turn out yummy!
Did you say you were releasing a cookbook next year?
Carolyn says
So glad you like it! Yep, a big, traditionally published book will be coming out in Fall 2017.
Carrie says
Hi, Carolyn – a quick question. One of the recipes mentions using Lily’s candy cane chocolate. I have never seen that version (and Lily and I are good friends – lol!). Is this a seasonal thing?
Carolyn says
It was a seasonal variation they did last year. Not sure if they are doing it again so of course you can just do their dark chocolate plus a little peppermint extract.
Carrie says
Thanks!! I’ll be on the lookout!
zlatka says
It feels so festive around here! Thank you Carolyn for the lovely recipes!
Decisions, decisions, which ones to make first… although I am sure even if I pick with closed eyes it would be perfection, as always! Thank you!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
juliendbq says
I just downloaded your book and can’t wait to sit down with it tonight and start a grocery list! You’ve never steered me wrong, Carolyn, and I am glad to show my support/encouragement by purchasing this book. That, AND, your yummy recipes are a great help at keeping me low-carb. Now, if I could shift to a more keto WOE, that would benefit me greatly!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Julie!
Jan says
Just bought the book! Thank you!
Linda says
Hello Carolyn,
Just ordered your eCookbook and I am so excited about the book coming our Fall 2017!!! I will be one of the first in line to buy it! Thanks again for all the great recipes you share on your blog (my favorite blog!).
meagan says
Does anyone know how to save this on an i pad? I downloaded the book but it opens as a website and I can’t find a way to save it. I’m afraid I’m going to accidentally close out my browser and lose it! I don’t have a printer and want to just view it on my tablet.
Carolyn says
It opens as a website? That is very odd. I am going to try downloading it to my own iPad and see what i can figure out…
meagan says
Instead of opening with chrome, I tried opening with Penguin and that let me save a pdf, phew!
Carolyn says
Good to know!
Mary McGuire says
I was looking through to find cookies to make for my neighbors and every one looks so good! I’ll have to make them all…But…
Do they freeze?
Carolyn says
Almost all of these will freeze very well. If they happen to have a chocolate coating or a glaze, I recommend leaving that off until the last minute.
Mary McGuire says
Thank you! Guess that means I can bake every day. My family will be so happy!
Theresa Blackstone says
Carolyn, thank you for this and for the reduced price offer! I just bought it 🙂 I have enjoyed so many of your recipes and am excited about trying some cookies this year. Last year’s sugar free holiday cookies didn’t come out so well, but your recipes are always a hit! I (mostly!) eat sugar-free and one of my sons is t1d so we love finding low carb sweets, especially for the holidays when everyone else is treating themselves! Thanks again!
Carolyn says
So glad. It was so popular I decided to keep it at the $4.99 price. Just seems right!
Tory says
Thanks, Carolyn. Just purchased my copy and it looks great! As others have mentioned, it’s a pleasure to support you when you’ve contributed so many great ideas and recipes to our lives.
My son and I were just kicking around some ideas for Thanksgiving. We’re traveling to see ‘family’ who don’t follow keto/low carb, so will bring along your Sausage and Sage Stuffing as well as some desserts and snacks for the few days we’re there. You’re new book could not have been more timely! 🙂
Wishing you the best of the holidays and thanks again!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Darlene says
Thanks Carolyn, I make the peanut blossoms all the time. They are awesome. This is well worth the 5 dollars!
Paula Ford says
Hi Carolyn – I ordered the cookbook but something went wrong and I never got a download of the book. 🙁 Please check your messages, as I just sent you the details via the contact form (11/6/16 approx. 6 PM ET. I Will you please check on this and let me know my next step to get your ebook? I am super excited to try the recipes! Thank you!
Carolyn says
Emailed you back. You should get a new email but check your junk folder!
Eileen says
I am happy to support your e book. I have been fantastic recipes from you for quite awhile and happy to give back. You’re recipes are always my favorites! Thanks much.
Carolyn says
Thanks, Eileen.
LK Brown says
I have never ordered an e-book before. But, I’m always so impressed with how good your recipes turn out. I can trick just about everyone with your peanut butter bar recipe. I figured I can’t wait until Fall 2017 for a “real” book from you so the e-book will have to fill the void on my shelf until then.
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Susan says
Looking forward to your cookbook to be published next year. Can I pre-order now? Because I am certain that I will want to buy it.
Randy Elam says
I got it, Yay!! I had to call my son to help me find it. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to read it. Randy
Carolyn says
So glad that worked! 🙂
Leigh says
Carolyn,
I ordered your cookie cook book 11/3 and I have not gotten my copy. Do I download it somewhere? I checked my spam folder and don’t see it there either.
Thanks!
Leigh
Carolyn says
Hi Leigh. Please email me at [email protected] with your receipt and I will send out a new link.
Kathy says
Ordered it, downloaded it, read it, and started baking! I’m happy to support your e-book venture and hope it is very successful. Here’s where I need your help, though. Counting carbs!! Total carbs vs. net carbs, specifically. On your website, your total carbs in recipes have been, I think, all the carbs minus the erythritol, because it really doesn’t “count.” That works great for me — it’s exactly what I’m supposed to be counting. But in the e-book and on recipes you post through other sites, like the Swerve site, you calculate carbs differently. I’m having trouble knowing how to work with the different types of carb counts. Can you clarify how I can know what the total carbs are, minus the erythritol?
Carolyn says
No the carbs are counted the same. I redid a few of the older recipes because they didn’t have the full carb count. I added erythritol at the bottom as a separate entry so it’s not counting into the carbs at all (either total or net), but just in case some people needed it.
Kathy says
Thank you!
Chocolate Rose says
I’m going to be making the Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars and just wanted to give a heads-up that glycerine is not listed in the ingredients but is listed in the directions. It looks like it should be 2 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin.
I did print out this book and had it spiral bound and it’s beautiful. I’m SO looking forward to your new book next year! Thank you, Carolyn!
Carolyn says
yes, I apologize about that. My designer was supposed to take it out but missed that.
Chocolate Rose says
No worries. I’m a totally “happy camper”. Now I get to figure out which ones to make for Christmas.
Ben says
Sorry, I’m not sure what your reply means – the recipe shouldn’t have any vegetable glycerin in it? This the recipe I most want to make!
Carolyn says
Yep, skip it altogether. 🙂 If you want it really gooey, I now suggest using a fiber syrup like this one. http://amzn.to/2fCcl9v Two tablespoons should do it.
Patricia Tucker says
Carolyn I’m still waiting to find out about how I can get a copy of your lo-carb cookbook, that I paid for and still cannot get it print. Would appreciate a copy although a refund would do. Thanks, I love your recipes and am fan of yours.
Robin says
So happy! I got the book today. I normally bake tons of sugary goodies for the rest of the world and satisfy myself with something else. Because sugar makes me so sick, it is usually easy to resist. Holidays are always a challenge! This year I am so excited to get to try your cookbook for “legal” fare. Thanks so much. By the way, my hubby was particularly taken with the opportunity to make eggnog, a definite seasonal favorite for us, though it has been off limits for me for quite a while now. Fun!
Jenn says
Hi!
Thank you so much for the wonderful mini-book! I had no problems with my order and the recipes look wonderful. However, I do have one question. Is there any way of gifting this to someone else? I would like to give my mom a copy.
Thanks so much!
Carolyn says
That’s a good question! Let me see if I can figure that out.
Jo says
Is this available in the U.K.? My payment didn’t seem to go through
Carolyn says
It should be, I’ve had others buy it. What’s your paypal email? I will see if it came through on my end.
Carolyn says
What’s your paypal email? I will try to see if it came through on my end.
Deb Fore says
I’m so excited to get this! I ordered it using my hubby’s paypal account on my phone. Will this be a download attachment that is sent to his email address? In my excitement to order I don’t recall being asked an email address for the download to be sent.
Thanks 🙂
Carolyn says
Yes, it will be sent to the paypal email address.
Robin says
So nice to have good low carb cookie recipes! After making and decorating a bunch of things I can’t eat, I told hubby I really wanted a treat. We made the chocolate peppermint sandwich cookies. Even with w slight oven malfunction- the flame went out in the oven and didn’t realize it, so after about 15 minutes when they still weren’t cooked, I noticed and turned it back on. Anyway, the peppermint filling is great. We definitely licked the beaters! What a joy to be able to do that. The combination of the chocolate cookie and the cream filling is yummy. They were very filling, so I wasn’t tempted to over eat them either. I’m about out of swerve, but I’m expecting a delivery of erythritol next week, so I should be able to make a few more Christmas treats. Thanks again! I really appreciate the work it takes to produce your blog (and the cookie cookbook). ??
Carolyn says
So glad they hit the spot.
Cortney says
I bought the book and I’m excited to try some new treats. How does Swerve compare to Pyure? Is it a 1:1 exchange? Thanks!
Carolyn says
Swerve measure cup for cup like sugar. If Pyure does too (I am not sure), then it would be a direct substitution. But Swerve has more bulk than Pyure, so I can’t be sure everything will come out the same.
Cortney says
Thank you!!!
Karmen Saski says
Hi Carolyn,
I ordered and paid for the ebook last week but don’t show a link to download it in my email. Would you be able to check on that and possibly resend the link? Thank you!!
Carolyn says
Hi Karmen,
Email me at [email protected] with the email you use for Paypal and i can sen out a new link.
Nata Etherton says
Is there a way to purchase your cookie booklet if I don’t have a PayPal account?
Carolyn says
Hmmm, technically no. But how about this? Since I am giving all my December proceeds to charity, if you donate $5 to the charity of your choice and email me the receipt, I will send you a free download link! 🙂
Roma Herring says
I think when I ordered this through my PayPal account it went to an inactive email account that I can no longer remember the password to. Could I please get it resent to the email that is attached to this comment. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Carolyn says
Please email me at [email protected] so I can help you sort this out.
Brenda says
Hi Carolyn. Is there another way to purchase your Holiday Cookies book rather than through PayPal?
Misty says
Are all of the holiday recipes included in the new cookbook that was just released?
Carolyn says
No, I don’t think any of them are! This was mostly recipes from my blog with a few new ones for good measure.
Elan Schneider says
Is this cookbook still available? I have your published one and love it I have recommended it to several people. Like you I have and insatiable sweet tooth. Thank for all of your hard work.
Carolyn says
It is but you may be more interested in Easy Keto Desserts, which is out in July and available for pre-order now. http://amzn.to/2GQakVW
Bethany says
Are these recipes included in the Easy Keto desserts book or are they different?
Claudia Murawski says
Carolyn:
I ordered this ebook through paypal with my husband’s email address 2 days ago. I don’t think we ever received it. Is it possible to get it sent to my email
Carolyn says
Hi Claudia, can you email me at [email protected] with the email address you used? That way I can look it up. E-Junkie is sometimes weird and the links go missing.
Joy says
Ordered mine. Got the receipt but can’t find the book?
Carolyn says
Did you check junk mail? If it’s not there, email me and I can look it up. [email protected]
Tanya says
I just purchased your ebook a couple days ago and was all set to bake and the link expired. Could you please resend to me? I didn’t realize I needed to save it. Thank you.
Carolyn says
Can you please email me this request? Sorry, but I need to track it all and cannot do so from comments on my blog.
