Easy Low Carb Pecan Cookies

These low carb pecan cookies require only three ingredients and can be made super quickly!

This recipe is SO simple! They can be prepared and baked all within 15 minutes! Perfect for when you need a sweet treat.

First you’ll need to grind up some pecans. I use this amazingly handy attachment on my stick blender. Totally my favorite kitchen tool at the moment! The pecans are reduced to dust in just a few seconds! The finer the nuts, the better the cookies will be.



In a bowl, add an egg and beat to mix. Pour in the ground pecans and add some low carb sweetener.


I use xylitol – but something like granular Swerve would be a good alternative. Mix well – it forms a loose “dough” very quickly. Divide it into 12 sections and use a teaspoon to place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.

Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until firm. Let cool then transfer to a cooling rack. These cookies are best eaten within one day. However, if you have them around for longer they’ll still taste good, just a little softer!
