A fantastic collection of the best keto and low carb cookies that you can make ahead and freeze for the holidays.

How much of a planner are you when it comes to holiday baking? Are you a pre-Thanksgiving, get all your ducks in a row early kind of baker? Or are you a mid-December, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants cookie maker? I

Do you rifle through your low carb recipe collections, seeking out the contenders and giving them a test drive well in advance? Or do you bake as you go, when you just happen upon a recipe that appeals to you?

If you’re like me, you’ve already been hunting up and dreaming up low carb cookie recipes for weeks. Possibly even months!

It’s funny, because in much of my life, I am not really the planner type. But when it comes to low carb Christmas cookies, I start the process very early. Very early indeed! I am an Early November, maybe even Late October holiday baker. I just love holiday treats, I love baking them, love sharing them, love everything about them. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.

Freezing Low Carb Christmas Cookies

Let’s face it, if you start baking too early, you’re going to run into some issues. Like stale and moldy cookies, which aren’t going to help you spread the holiday cheer. But on the other hand, if you start baking too late, you might run into a time crunch trying to get it all done. What to do, what to do?

Part of the planning process is deciding what low carb cookie recipes can be made in advance and frozen. Not all recipes fit this bill and they change too much upon freezing and thawing. But others have just the right consistency to be frozen without incident.

A few things to keep in mind when planning your keto holiday cookies:

  • Most basic almond flour or coconut flour cookies freeze just as well as conventional cookies and don’t change consistency upon thawing. By “basic”, I mean ones that don’t have fillings or a lot of decoration.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing in a container or plastic bag. This allows the cookies to firm up properly before storing. Warm cookies will also give off condensation in the freezer which could ruin them.
  • Flash freezing the cookies works well. Place them individually on a cookie sheet, not touching, and place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Then remove and place them in your container of choice. This helps them not stick together during the freezing process.
  • Chocolate doesn’t freeze well. This is the case even for conventional cookies as the chocolate can bloom and go grey in the freezer. So cookies that are meant to be dipped in chocolate, like biscotti, or have a chocolate center, like peanut butter blossoms, are best frozen without. Then thaw and decorate as desired.
  • Raw cookie dough freezes well. Some cookies are actually best frozen in their raw form. Consider doing this for drop cookies like chocolate chips and peanut butter. And my famous Chewy Ginger Cookies! The easiest way to do this is to roll them into balls and flash freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zippered freezer bag once they are solid. Let them thaw before baking.
  • Slice and bake cookies like pinwheels are actually designed to be frozen before baking, as it allows you to slice them more thinly.

  1. I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to your recipes in my email. I was a serious baker 20 years ago before realizing I needed to lower my carbs and minimize grains. Being able to add baked goods back into my life has really enriched not only my diet, but my ability to treat the diabetics in our family and make us all feel less deprived. Baking has always been a creative experience for me and I appreciate being able to express that side of my personality. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes.

      • I love your recipes and always look forward to trying them out. I was wondering if there is a difference between peanut flour and peanut powder. I think Honeyville sells the powder. Can I use either one? It is easier to find the powder in stores.

      • Hi Carolyn, Love your recipes. I can’t digest almond nor coconut flour. I use pork rinds for stuffing and crusts for cheesecakes. Can any of these use pork rinds as a substitute? Thanks for all you do for all of us.

    • I love anything chocolate & peanut butter! Keep em coming.

      This is my favorite blog on the planet….and like others often the high point of my day. Its the first thing I look for when I power up the computer after work. The recipes are outstanding and the photos actually do them justice. You eat first with your eyes as they say.

      Merry Christmas to us….thanks Carolyn.

  5. My favorite cookies to freeze were a choc chip. I’d freeze the dough balls and bake a a few when we needed fresh, warm cookies. Haven’t done that at all since last year. Stupid diabetes.

  10. I’ve never frozen cookies before but I need to make a ton of cookies for the holidays this year so this will be my first time trying it. I’m hoping to make some chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, ginger cookies, and at least one other type of cookie. I’m still undecided on that last one. The chocolate hazelnut sandwich cookies and cranberry walnut cookies mentioned in this post both sound like delicious options!

  12. I adore your magic cookie bars and the caramel sauce element is amazing! I make a full recipe of the cookie bars, slice into individual squares for portion control and keep them in the freezer.

  13. I’m planning to get an early start on Christmas baking this year. Your recipes came at just the right time and I’m anxious to try several of them! Never get tired of a good chocolate chip cookie and I love the idea of freezing the dough balls and making them fresh, as needed!

  19. What a great post! I understand what you mean about baking ahead but I love freezable cookies anytime of the year. Great for unexpected guests or unexpected cookie cravings. I am looking forward to lots of holiday baking experimentation this year. Keep the great recipes coming!

  22. I love your chocolate chip cookie dough bites. They are so easy to whip up when I want a delicious, chocolatey treat that I don’t have to bake. I made them again last night, but they never last long enough in my house to freeze them. 🙂 Perhaps I should try making a bulk batch and freezing some to enjoy later.

  28. You have brought some Holiday sunshine into my life. I’ve been a boarder Type 2 Diabetic for a few years and suddenly this summer my sugars went ski high. So know I have to live a low carb life style. With the holidays here I must admit I’ve been feeling a bit down because so many of the treats and such that go along with the Holidays are not in my diet anymore. Except for maybe a bite of something. Then I found this posted on All Day I Dream About Food fb page. I can’t wait to start making some of these. Thank you so much. And enjoy your Holiday Season. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

    • I know how you feel, Kathy. That was my fear when I first went low carb too…which is what egged me on to create these recipes!

  31. I modified your cranberry ginger butter cookies into snickerdoodles and I’ve been keeping them in the freezer. I’be been making a peanut butter sandwich cookie with them for breakfast. Yum!

  32. I just love jam thumbprints with the dough rolled in chopped nuts before filling. I make them up to the point of being jam-ready, then freeze. Now that I’m low-carb, I’m using your raspberry chia jam this year! BTW, from the list above I’ve already made the Cinnamon Roll Biscotti (fantastic!) and the No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites (a great treat!), and I’m making the Cranberry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies this weekend–can’t wait!

  33. My grandma taught me the “freeze your cookies” thing. She used to freeze some of the various cookies people would give our family throughout the holiday season, then whip them out a month or two later as a yummy “surprise” treat. I haven’t made many cookies since I went low-carb, but I can vouch that the salted caramel bars from this site freeze perfectly! P.S. Thanks for the tip on the Lily’s holiday flavors…I have to try them!!!

  37. Chocolate chip cookies- I freeze the dough and then I can have warm, gooey cookies anytime & can make a couple for me, or a full sheet if I have company. Yummy!

  38. What an awesome collection! I used to make and give away cookies at Christmas, but I haven’t done it the past few years because I don’t keep traditional baking ingredients around. Too tempting for me. Now I have a collection I can use next year. We just moved and all of my baking tools are still in storage. I’m going to be spending December putting my new house in order, so this year I’m collecting recipes, many from your site, to make next year.

    Thanks for all the hard work you put into making recipes those of us who follow a low carb diet plan can use, knowing they will work the first time we make them.

  41. I used to freeze chocolate chip cookies in a roll – mainly for portion control since if I baked them all at once, I’d eat way too many. I haven’t tried freezing low carb chocolate chip cookies, but some Lily’s Chocolate might get me to do so 🙂

  42. I have only been low carb since May and have never made cookies or many desserts for that matter! There are so many that look delicious. I am excited to try the thin mint truffles and the sugar cookies 🙂

  43. Shortbread cookies, they are a family favorite going back years and years, we don’t do the holidays without them, and like to tint them green and cut in christmas tree shapes.

  45. I don’t really get to freeze cookies here!! There are nine of us in this house and one batch barely gives us all some lol.

  46. Cranberry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are to die for, year-round. Freezing cranberries (as I read on one of your recent recipes) is a new must-do for me so I don’t have to wait for fall to roll around.

  47. Oh, I love Lime Meltaways – SO good, and actually I like them close to frozen when I eat them. I think it enhances that “cool” feeling you get from meltaway cookies.

I am looking forward to making some of these recipes to freeze this year. And lily’s is my fave chocolate ever since beginning trim healthy mama 2 years ago.

  62. Thanks for the wonderful List Carolyn! They all look yummy!
    My favorite cookie to freeze is the Oatmeal Scotchies. I haven’t had one in the last several years, but used to love to pull one out of the freezer, warm in the microwave and drink with a hot mug of tea! Yum!

  67. We make the Chocolate Orange Spritz Cookies every year without the orange zest or the optional chocolate dip. lol. We just call them Spritz cookies and they are wonderful! Love that we can bake dozens and dozens and freeze then so they last for a while.
    These are the only cookies I have made so far, so I guess they are my favorite.
    Spritz Cookies are a holiday tradition at our house so I was thrilled to find a low carb recipe that tastes every bit as good as the ones I used to make.
    Maybe this year I’ll decorate them with that chocolate dip.

  71. I’d have to say spritz! I’m new to the low glycemic diet, so I was a little bummed that I would not be able to have my traditional Swedish spritz this year. When I saw your recipe above I may have let out a little whoop! And seriously, I don’t know how I would have made it this far without Lily’s. So, so good!

  80. I haven’t found a favorite since I went GF/LC. But my mother used to make these oatmeal, vanilla, scotchies that were my favorite cookie ever! She would wrap them in foil, then cut off 6 cookies at a time, (2 for each daughter) any time we wanted a quick sweet fix. Well, I figured out how to cut and modify the back so that she couldn’t tell that the dough was missing. That dough was sooooooo good. Mom never figured out that I was eating over half of the dough before she could cook it. She kept these cookies in the fridge all the time. They were so good. I asked her for the recipe, she said she made it up every time she cooked, and can’t give it to me. Annoying.

  84. My favourite holiday treat are Scuffles (which I’m pretty sure are a Saskatchewan thing). They aren’t technically a frozen cookie but our family actually likes them best frozen. It comes from years of stealing them out my Mom’s freezer. This is our first Christmas low carb & we’re sad that we won’t be able to have our Scuffles. We were joking the other day that maybe we should send you the original recipe because you seem to come up with the most amazing low carb versions of all of our favourites (like Butter Tarts & Nanaimo Bars!).

I love Ranger Cookies, but finding substitutes for both oatmeal and crispy rice cereal is way beyond my capabilities, LOL.

  109. Hi Carolyn, Thanks so much for all the effort, time and expense you’ve put into creating these recipes. My dear husband is a fabulous cook and baker. We never used to buy bread at the store, because his homemade is so fabulous. Since I went low-carb a month ago, we’ve been cooking and eating separately. We love to cook together so it has been a strain for us to have separate diets. I’m trying to find great LC/wheat-free recipes we can make together, and I’ve been very impressed by the results I get from your recipes. Even he admits they’re delicious. 🙂 I look forward to trying these!

  110. I pretty rarely freeze ahead of time, but when I do, I make my dear friend’s Molasses Cookies. They are so. dang. good. I’ve come in second place in a cookie competition with them. I haven’t yet tried to make them low carb (but that’s because I’m not yet good and figuring out an almond flour alternative), but I really would love to. Everyone loves them! Since discovering your blog, though, I have to say our holiday desserts are usually centered around something you’ve created! Your coconut cream pie is a massive favorite, and may be a Christmas dessert this year. Your caramel sauce is a must, and I use it for a LOT of things. Oh, so many things 🙂 Thank you, thank you 🙂

  135. Caroline: I am just finishing up my holiday cookie baking and I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for this wonderful set of recipes. Usually I love spending time in the kitchen, but during the holidays it can get hectic and stressful, especially since I have to make absolutely everything from scratch or there’s no holiday baking at all! Making a batch or two of cookies at a time has been so relaxing — plus since these kind tend to go stale quickly, it’s so nice to freeze them and pull out a small assortment as needed. Plus, your recipes are just beautiful — I’m not much of an artist when it comes to baking, but these look so elegant far beyond what I would normally create — thank you so much!

    Reply

  137. These recipes look amazing. I want to try to make a few of the cookies for when my son comes home for Christmas. We are both diabetic and trying to follow low carb. How far in advance can I make them and how do I store them so they will taste fresh for the holiday?

    • I’ve honestly kept many of these in my freezer for up to two months! Just be sure to read the little bit of instruction I gave. Some are best frozen unfrosted or unglazed, etc.

  142. Wow…. I am so impressed with the quality of your recipes. I would love to get your books but prefer hard copies over e-books.

  143. Okay, I know this is an old post but I just had to scroll ALL THE WAY to the bottom to add my comment. You are so awesome! I am definitely a mid-November early baker, love freezing rolled out dough ahead for fresh baked goodies through the season. Never in my wildest dreams did I think there would be low-carb options for this!! YAY!! You have done all the work for us. I am over the moon excited to find this page. I know they will be good because I’m a long-time fan of your recipes!! Thank you, thank you!!
