This is a healthier twist on that famous German cookie using absolutely no grains or sugars, making them nutritious and delicious. The word "pfeffernüsse" means "peppernuts" and while some versions of this classic European cookie do contain nuts, this recipe doesn't specifically, although our keto substitution brings some almond flour into the mix. Some variations role the finished cookie in powdered sugar, but I've yet to find a good sugar substitute that gives the right taste in recipes like this. Instead, drizzle some sugar-free chocolate on top of these delicious bites and it will complement the spicy surprise these cookies bring to your holiday table. Baking sweet treats on a low carb diet can be a challenge. Too many low carb recipe variations result in bland and dry mini-bricks that scratch the top of your mouth like they were rolled in all the sand your brought home from your last beach vacation. This low carb cookie is sure to please with no sugar, lots of flavor and just enough sweetness to make you go, "Hmm, I think I'll have another please." In my opinion, VitaFiber is the key ingredient for any kind of keto cookie. Not only does it cut the carbs in half and keep the sweetness but it gives the cookie the right texture and helps it hold together.  No matter what kind of low carb, keto or paleo cookie you plan to bake, I can just about guarantee that if you add VitaFiber, you will be happy that you did.
