It's not my thing but I know many people like crisp ginger snap cookies so I thought I should get on it this year, along with a chewy ginger cookie (https://www.ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-soft-chewy-ginger-cookie )! I feel like getting crispy keto cookies is kind of a pain, I believe the secret is the egg white protein. I used my husband as a guinea pig for these cookies, he likes them dipped in milk and he said they taste like a ginger snap.
For the crispy cookie I suggest the golden monkfruit/erythritol blend. You can cook the cookie a little less and still get a crispy cookie. You can use a swerve type brown sugar but I suggest cooking for a few extra minutes to get it nice and crispy all the way through. You can also under bake this cookie and it will be a cross between a soft and crispy cookie.

These came out pretty good but I just can't seem to stomach erythritol anymore. I do like the Swerve brown sugar but the white stuff is just yuck. It gives me digestive issues and the cooling sensation is almost unbearable. Lol. I'm a mess. Anyway, I'm enjoying the cookies despite all that. But I gotta figure out this sweetener issue.
