Easy Keto/Low Carb Coconut Flour Vanilla Wafer Cookies

Writer's picture: Keto UpgradeKeto Upgrade

Updated: Jul 26, 2024

I wanted a crispy keto cookie without spending a bunch of money on prepackaged keto products and without nuts, so I got to testing for a crispy vanilla wafer cookie.





It's a very simple recipes just a few tip and tricks to get the perfect crispy cookie. Using a granular 1:1 sweetener is essential because the granules melt and help create the crisp. You can swap out the whey protein powder for egg white protein powder but the cookie may end up a little dry. The amount of dry ingredients is really important to get a cookie that won't spread too much and be brown and crispy. So I always suggest weighing all of the dry ingredients, I put a cup measurement but they are really just approximations. If you measure different then the back of the package did to get their measurements, it can be different by up to 10 grams which could cause a flatter less crispy cookie.


The measuring of the cookie dough balls, chilling and baking accurately will also help in the crispiness of the cookie. I used a scale to measure out 8g balls, rolled and chilled until solid then baked, turning half way through to get it nice and golden brown all the way around. If you have a 2 teaspoon measuring scoop that would be the easiest way to measure the dough out.


To get a very Vanilla flavor I added vanilla stevia. It won't ruin the cookie if you don't use it but it definitely needs extra vanilla flavor to get the vanilla punch you want from a vanilla wafer.


Once they are fully cooled they will be crispy, but not before that. Once they are fully cooled and crispy you can place into an airtight container or ziplock bag and will last on the counter for weeks. If you don't want to bake all the dough at once you can roll and freeze on a tray and transfer to a ziplock bag. Then place on a lined sheet tray to thaw in the fridge then bake as usual.
