Tender pecan crescent cookies made with almond flour. These easy and delicious low carb cookies are a must make for the holiday season. They also make great snowball cookies too! And at 4g total carbs per serving, you can afford to indulge.

These low carb pecan crescent cookies are full of deep and emotional nostalgia for me. Pecan crescents were my father’s favorite Christmas cookie, and as many of you know, he died a few years ago right around Christmas. I miss him terribly but I am lucky I got so much time with him in the end.

I originally created this recipe in 2012, long before his diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He and his wife often used to spend Christmas with us when we lived in Boston, before he got too ill to travel. One holiday, I was inspired to attempt a low carb version of his beloved pecan crescents.

And I was absolutely delighted by how they turned out, and how pleased he was to indulge in my healthier version. They have the same soft and yet slightly crumbly texture of the original, and the same delicious pecan flavor coming through, without an ounce of sugar or gluten. The old man gave them two thumbs up.

It truly is astonishing what you can accomplish with a stick of butter, a bag of almond flour, and a willingness to experiment.

I decided that in his honour, I needed to update this old post and give them some pretty new photos.

Low carb pecan crescent cookies for the holidays

How To Make Pecan Crescent Cookies

Pecan crescents are akin to shortbread and they have that unique sandy texture of a typical shortbread cookie. To shape them, you simply roll them into balls and then form them into crescents. Or you could simply leave them as balls and turn them into pecan snowballs.

Be sure to use finely chopped, toasted pecans. If the pecan chunks are too large, it’s harder to roll and shape the cookies properly.

Our traditional family recipe took brown sugar. At the time I first created these, I subbed in granulated Swerve and some molasses, but now that Swerve has a brown sugar substitute, it’s perfect for these cookies. If you can’t find Swerve Brown, try regular Swerve and 2 teaspoons of Yacon or molasses.

We used to decorate our cookies with some canned vanilla frosting that we thinned out with a little milk. Ugh, can you believe that? Now I simply whisk together a little vanilla glaze with powdered sweetener and heavy cream, and it’s just as good.

Sadly, there really aren’t any great sugar-free sprinkles out there. I just use a few holiday sprinkles on the frosted cookies to give them a festive flair.

You could also simply roll them in powdered sweetener. I did that to half of the pecan crescent cookies this time and they were lovely that way. If you want to make snowballs with these cookies, you simply roll them in powdered sweetener after they’ve cooled.

This recipe makes a lot of cookies so it’s perfect for holiday parties or gift-giving. The great thing is that the cookies freeze well both baked and unbaked. For unbaked, simply wrap the dough up tightly in plastic and freeze. Thaw before shaping and rolling into crescents.

If you want freeze the baked cookies, let them cool properly first. Freeze before frosting or rolling in powdered sweetener. They can last in the fridge for up to two months.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Keyword: pecan crescent cookies, pecan snowballs
Servings: 20 servings
Calories: 168 kcal
Ingredients
Cookies:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup Swerve Brown (or regular Swerve and 2 teaspoons Yacon syrup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla Glaze:
  • 2/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener or powdered erythritol
  • 6 to 8 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
For the cookies:
  1. Preheat oven to 325F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, chopped pecans, coconut flour baking powder and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter with Swerve until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.

  4. Beat in almond flour mixture until dough comes together. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls, then roll between palms and shape into crescents.

  5. Lay on prepared baking sheets and bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until just lightly golden brown. They will not be firm to the touch, but will firm up as they cool. Cool on the pan.

For the glaze:
  1. Whisk powdered Swerve with 1/4 cup cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1 tbsp more cream at a time until a thin but spreadable consistency is achieved.

  2. Spread on cooled cookies and decorate as desired.
  3. Or simply roll the cookies in powdered sweetener.

    My favorite Christmas Cookie is Norwegian Krumkaker. Delicios, thin and crispy, but unfortunatly not low carb and not gluten free. I would sooo much like to compose a recepie that is…
    Now I have liked both Facebook sites, and are following both pages on Pinterest.
    Best regards and a Merry Christmas

    Since I don’t celebrate Christmas (or didn’t until I married Eric), I’m not sure what Christmas cookies are… but I did make roasted chestnut cookies a few years ago and fell madly in love with them. So, that’s my answer 🙂

    My favorite cookie? What a hard one. Of course it has to be gluten free and warm from the oven. What would Christmas be without moist sugar cookies …or gooey warm chocolate chip cookies…or matrimony date bars the Canadian way? It’s way too early in the morning to be thinking cookies but my tummy is growling already. COOKIES!

    Love your FB page and have shared it with others. My cousin mentions it all the time to me. Would love to win the contest because I’m just at the beginning of my gluten free path and have so much to learn.

    Wow, I don’t know my favourite.
    I’d guess spritz cookies. They are so fun to make & decorate with children.
    However, when getting fancy, or sharing with friends, I usually head to a bar cookie, as they are easier to make in a multitude in a small kitchen.

    Favorite Christmas cookie: My mom got a recipe from her sister’s mother-in-law (confusing) a long time ago for fruitcake cookies. Wow! I never really like fruitcake but these were different but also so colorful and I wish I had some right now!

    I have all the ingredients to make your dad’s cookies though so I’ll give those a try instead! They can be frozen without the glaze? Would they be bad frozen with the glaze?

    my favourite Christmas cookies – what my well-loved grandmother used to call bird’s nest cookies: kind of a shortbread, rolled in chopped walnuts (or was it pecans?), ruby-red jam nestled in a slight depression on top. oh my yummy. and associated with such warm memories!

    My favorite is my mother’s fruitcake cookies. I have been making them as low carb as possible for the last three years. Traditionally you soak the candied fruit in whiskey over night. These cookies are mostly pecans with a touch of fruit. I have got the flavor down pat. I’m still working on the texture. I substitute dried fruit for the candied cherries and pineapple, but finding sugar free dried fruit is a challenge.

    I love your blog, cookbooks, and recipes. Please keep them coming! Happy Holidays!

    favorite Christmas cookies are old family traditions with family names – Pennsylvania cookies: an almond hazelnut crescent and honey balls. Am trying to sub almond flour in each of them, will see how they turn out.

    Until today, Dr. Davis’ Orange Cream Cookies were our favorite low carb, gluten free cookies. I just finished a double batch of your Pecan Cresents and these take first place – my husband and I agree that we don’t think the glaze is necessary – just because it is Christmas, I’ll probably do the glaze. I also think my next batch will not be the pretty little cresent shapes – I’m planning to just use the small cookie scoop and bake. Thanks for all you do for us – love your blog!

    My favorite Christmas cookie is Vanillekipfel (Austrian Vanilla Crescents). Growing up, my Austrian grandmother sent us a huge box of her homemade vanillekipfel every Christmas. We always were so excited when the brown paper wrapped box from grossmama arrived. The smell was heavenly and the taste even better! These cookies are traditionally made with a cup or two of almond and/or hazelnut flours so they were very easy for me to adapt to using only nut flours. This year I am going to use Swerve for the sweetner instead of coconut sugar so my blood sugar won’t spike! Dusted with some powdered erythritol they will look just like our family’s traditional vanillekipfel.
    Your pecan crescent cookies look very scrumptious, I can hardly wait to make them.

    In my pre-low-carb days, my SIL gave me this recipe that became a Christmas-only standard: slice-and-bale a roll of sugar-cookie-dough into 36 cookies; stir amaretto liqueur into raspberry jam and spread a thin layer on the bottom of 18 cookies and press the another cookie bottom against the jam to make a sandwich. Melt some chocolate chips and add in a smidge of paraffin. Dip the 18 sandwiches halfway into the chocolate. I haven’t tried to replicate a LC version. I’m Liking on FB. Haven’t done Pinterest but this is an incentive to sign up and try it! P.S. I *ADORE* Pampered Chef! Best veg-peelers in the world… I actually tie one onto bridal-shower gifts!

    My favorite cookies are traditional sugar cookies. They bring back so many wonderful childhood memories: rolling & using the cookie cutters (I use my mom-in-law’s that she gave me over 30 years ago!), the smell of them baking, decorating them with the cream cheese Christmas-y frosting (each grandchild gets a specially decorated cookie with their name on it every year) and the my most favorite part- eating them!

Truly, before I turned to low carb eating, Pecan Sandies, Crescents, Mexican Wedding cookies were my absolute favorite and I could never get enough of them! Thank you SO much for creating this low carb, gluten free version. Without the sugar, I can actually stop at two (one serving) and be content. The flavor and texture are spot on. I didn’t even make the glaze or sprinkle them with erythritol, they’re perfect as is. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!!

    I totally missed the contest, but have a question about the recipe. Is there a non-nut substitute for almond flour? Maybe a combination of whey protein and coconut flour? The nut flour is too much for the hubby’s system…I will take a stab at a substitute myself and let you know how it goes, but if you have a suggestion I would love to hear it.

    I almost dropped my tablet this morning when I saw this post. I am in my early seventies and reading this, too, brings back deep nostalgia for me. I made these every Christmas with my 3 daughters and what fun we had trying to get them hot from the pan into the 1st coat of powdered sugar without breaking them and then into our mouths without burning ourselves. As they cooled we always rolled them a second time in the icing sugar and then left them to set up on a wire rack. Have missed my grown girls so much; making these tomorrow to bring back some special memories and, for that, I thank you.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! it’s very similar to one that my grandma used to make with hazelnuts and that my father, who passed away a year ago around this time, loved. I’m sorry to hear that you lost your dad, too.

    I’m going to use your recipe and sub in toasted hazelnuts. I’ll let you know how it goes.

        Thank you so much, Carolyn! I hope you had a lovely Christmas!

        I just wanted to follow up to say that I made these with the hazelnut and the flavor was a spot on match to my family recipe. However, I was trying to cut back on the amount of swerve I was using in the recipe, since I was planning to dust them with swerve confectioners and didn’t want an overload of cooling, so I used allulose for the cookie part and they didn’t crisp up. Do you think the allulose would have kept them from getting crispy?

        Aside, for a handful of them, I added cinnamon and cardamom to the dusting swerve and it was an absolutely delicious complement to the hazelnut cookie.

        Once again, I want to thank you for your site, recipes and advice. I have made the most delicious and memorable Christmas meals with your help.

        Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! I look forward to more of your creations in 2019.

          Hi Linda, I am just beginning to play with allulose myself and yes, I am finding that it affects the consistency of baked goods. Swerve is non-hygroscopic, which means it doesn’t attract moisture. Allulose and other sweeteners like Bocha Sweet do attract moisture. That’s why they help caramel sauce and ice cream stay soft but they aren’t so great for crisp cookies.

    Hi I am a bit confused! How many cookies in total should this recipe make? If each serving is 2 cookies, would the total number of cookies made = 20 and with 2 cookies per serving there are 10 total servings? Or does the recipe make 40 cookies with 2 cookies per serving for a total of 20?!!!

    Thanks in advance for clarifying!

    Having baked for a while, I always wonder about one direction for keto baking. Normally with butter and sugar, instructions often say “cream together” and this is to break the crystal structure of the sugar down (I believe). I find when baking with a sugar substitute like Swerve granular, I find it very hard to get that “cream” texture. The instructions for keto baking will often say mix until “light and fluffy”. I don’t know about anyone else, but this seems to never quite happen for me. The resulting product therefore still has a granular texture. Any suggestions for how to achieve “light and fluffy”?

    Reply
    • Carolyn says

      July 9, 2019 at 12:42 pm

      Creaming butter and real sugar or another granular sweetener is NOT to break down the crystalline structure at all. It is to beat air bubbles into the butter. Many recipes beyond keto also say “until light and fluffy”. It serves exactly the same purpose. You need to beat for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer. Stand mixers are more powerful and will do it more quickly.
