Low Carb Mummy Cookies

Introduction to Easy Halloween Cookies

Halloween is a holiday adored and enjoyed by many, and to get into the spirit, we decided to make some Easy Halloween Cookies that are keto-friendly. This way, everyone can indulge in the holiday fun. It’s also a great way to get the kids involved, as who doesn’t love decorating cookies with low-carb, edible frosting? The process is simple: eat a little, frost a little. Matt puts on his costume and shows you exactly how to make these simple, easy, keto-friendly mummy cookies.

Add This to Your List of Low Carb Cookies

Personally, my favorite part is the decorating and eating, but these cookies are also delicious without the decorations. The pecan shortbread base is crunchy, buttery, and perfect for any time of year. You can switch up the nuts and add some pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to give them an extra kick. If you like making and eating cookies, this is definitely one you need to try – the frosting just takes it to the next level.

Our Low Carb Menu

Halloween marks the beginning of the low-carb deliciousness that’s about to unfold. With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, you can expect even more tasty recipes. Matt and I are very family-oriented, and cooking and creating in the kitchen is what makes us feel closest. This is why we always make it a point to share holiday-related recipes. We know what it means to gather in the kitchen, put down your phones, and spend a couple of hours decorating mummy cookies or making a low-carb pecan pie. We want you to get excited because being low-carb doesn’t mean missing out – we would never let that happen.

Easy Halloween Cookies

Traditionally, Halloween is a holiday where candy is tossed into pillowcases and eaten by the pound, but why can’t the same be done with cookies? If you don’t want to go through the trouble of making cookies this year, we highly recommend making our Ice Cream Bites. They are Snickers fat bombs that taste exactly like the ice cream Snickers you used to enjoy as a kid. Since Halloween comes around only once a year, why not make the ice cream bites and these easy Halloween cookies?

Instructions

Cookies

1. In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients using a fork. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, melt the butter. Add vanilla extract and half the dry ingredient mixture. Combine using a hand mixer.
3. Add the egg and combine, then add the rest of the dry mixture and mix one last time.
4. In a ziplock bag, crush the pecans to the desired size and fold them into the shortbread batter, dispersing evenly.
5. Place the entire mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and form a rectangular log using your hands. Roll the log up in the parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. After 30 minutes have passed, cut the log into 1/4 inch thick cookies – we were able to make 24.
8. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Allow them to cool for 20 minutes before making mummies out of the cookies.

Glaze

1. Melt the cacao butter in a microwave-safe bowl and add the powdered erythritol.
2. Dip the cooled cookies in halfway and set them on the baking sheet you baked them on.
3. Prior to placing the cookies in the freezer, use the rest of the glaze to top the cookies.
4. Freeze for 20 minutes – the cacao butter will have hardened and become white.

Frosting

1. Vanilla: Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl using a hand mixer.
2. Chocolate: Combine all the ingredients, except for the cocoa powder, in a large bowl using a hand mixer. Once the mixture is smooth, add the cocoa powder and mix again.
