    These keto pecan cookies are a delicate cookie that firm up nicely the next day. With a crunchy pecan crust and a pecan centre these are low carb cookies for pecan lovers.

    If you enjoy low carb cream cheese cookies and pecans then this is the low carb cookie recipe for you. The cream cheese helps give these pecan cookies an almost shortbread texture which firm up to a delicious crunch the next day.

    Carbs in pecans

    Pecans are a great low carb nut with just 1 gram of net carbs per 1 oz (28 grams) serving. As well as being low in carbs pecans are a great source of vitamins, calcuim and minerals.

    How to make keto pecan cookies

    You will need two muffin tins to make these cookies in order to keep a circular shape. As the cookie dough is very rich and delicate, I found that baking them on a baking tray lead to the cookies spreading.

    The soft cookie dough is made into two logs as I found it easier to handle dough rather than just one log. Rolled in chopped pecan nuts, it is then placed in the freezer or fridge to firm up. Once the dough is firm, it's just slice and bake! I popped a pecan half on top for decoration and another extra crunch.
