Keto Soft & Chewy Ginger Cookie

Writer's picture: Keto UpgradeKeto Upgrade

Updated: Dec 2, 2024

Love me a soft, chewy cookie, this ginger one is so buttery, sweet and packed with ginger flavor, absolutely delicious! I used the packable brown sugar substitute to figure this one out because it has extra ingredients to make it taste more like regular brown sugar. Plus it has extra moisture in it which lends well to a softer, chewier cookie.




To figure out a chewy ginger cookie, I used the same ingredients I used for my keto chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've tried changing these ingredients up but never get as good of a result as I do with these ingredients. Arrowroot powder and gelatin is the combo I use. I'm guessing using xanthan gum may give a similar effect as the gelatin but I haven't tried what ratios would work.

I love your site! Your recipes look fantastic. I have seen some I want to try but am wondering what you think might be the best sub for whey powder? I wonder if collagen powder might work. Thank you

These were baked at 375. They really spread too.

Mine turned out as flat as could be. What could have happened? I had these in the freezer more than 15 minutes so I baked them at 300 degrees.

I ordered the exact sweetener you used. The only changes was glucomannan instead of arrowroot because I can't have arrowroot powder. It seems like too much fat for the amount of coconut flour and only one egg. Is the recipe written correctly?

Ok, maybe it's the Samsung app from Google Play. I will go on my computer to see if I can print from there. Thanks.

You are my hero! This used to be my favorite cookie before my T1 diagnosis. I haven't been able to eat one in 6 years. Thank you! I will definitely be trying this. But I can't have arrowroot powder. Can I use glucomannan or xanthum with the gelatin instead?

I'm not sure, the closest thing to arrowroot is cornstarch which you would only need half the amount. Other than that you could try a little xanthan but I don't think it will give the same effect. Maybe only a teaspoon.
