Keto Cranberry Walnut Cookies
These keto cranberry walnut cookies are similar to the cranberry bread I used to make every year for the holidays, but so much better because they are keto. I love being able to recreate recipes that I used to make and make it in a healthier way so that we can still have them.
Cookies Are For Sharing
Cookies are great at any time, but around the holidays they are a way of sharing with friends and family. Making cookies with my kids are some of my favorite memories and just because we are now keto does not mean that we can’t continue that tradition… just with different ingredients. I hope that this will be one of your new favorites on your holiday cookie platter.
Frozen Cranberries Work Best
A lot of cranberry recipes call for dried cranberries, however, I would rather use fresh cranberries. I freeze them and then pulse them in the food processor to make them into chunks. They do better in the food processor frozen than if they were thawed. I just take fresh and put them in the freezer. When I want cranberries I have them all set to go.

Hi there, these look great! Could you clarify what the ’emulsion’ is listed in recipe step number four? Thanks!

Jackie,
This was supposed to be extract not emulsion. Thank you for alerting us of this and we have fixed this in the recipe. So sorry for the confusion.
