Keto walnut cookies recipe (Gluten-free)- Here To Cook (2025)

Made with egg yolks, this keto walnut cookies recipe is an easy to whisk together low-carb dessert idea. The tender texture and rich flavors, with a refreshing walnuts crunch, make these healthy cookies perfect for any occasion because everyone will love them!

Some recipes, like my CHOCOLATE-DIPPED SUGAR-FREE MARSHMALLOWS, call for egg whites - but what to do with the egg yolks, then? Throw them away? Since I don’t really like to throw away food (who does?), I came up with a solution – easy walnut cookies! If you don’t know what to do with egg yolk leftovers, make egg yolk chewy walnut cookies out of them!

Step by step directions

This easy walnut cookie recipe is super forgiving (same as ALMOND FLOUR KETO PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES or my KETO SNICKERDOODLES COOKIE RECIPE); there’s literally no way you can ruin it! However, I would recommend bringing the butter and egg yolks to room temperature before mixing everything together.

You’ll need two medium mixing bowls. Combine the baking soda, both flours, baking powder, and pinch of salt in one bowl. Then, take another bowl and, using a hand mixer or an immersion blender with a whisk attachment, beat the butter and granulated sweetener of your choice together until fluffy. Next, add the egg yolks, vanilla extract (totally optional – with or without, the cookies will come out super tasty), and apple cider vinegar and mix until fully incorporated. Lastly, combine together the wet and dry ingredients, add our chopped walnuts, and mix one more time.

Form 10 even balls out of our dough, slightly flatten them to create a disk shape, and place them onto a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper so they have some space between them.

Bake the cookies with walnuts for 12-15 mins on a lower rack in an oven preheated to 170C (340F). When our keto cookies become golden, take them out and leave them on the baking tray until completely cool.

Carbs in walnut cookies

I think it’s hard to find a more keto cookies recipe than this one. I gathered all the good stuff together here: fatty egg yolks, butter, and omega-3 packed crunchy walnuts. They’re all keto superfoods! It’s worth mentioning that these low-carb walnut butter cookies have only 2g net carbs each. Aren’t they a perfect keto dessert?
