Keto Walnut Cookies
Keto Walnut Cookies combine coarsely ground walnuts with cinnamon and a sweetener to create a nutty, slightly spiced cookie. The mix of egg or egg white binds the dough, while baking produces a golden brown, crisp texture. These cookies can be made richer with whole egg or crisper using just the egg white, offering flexibility. Their low net carb content makes them suitable for ketogenic diets, and their crunchy yet tender texture makes them a practical treat that holds well stored.
