How To Make Keto Raspberry Lemonade Cookies
Making these raspberry lemon keto cookies is pretty straightforward.
You’ll start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Then, mix in a medium-sized bowl of coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Set aside the dry ingredients and proceed to make the wet ingredients.
In a separate bowl, start by mashing 1/4 cup of the fresh raspberries.
Note that if you opt to use frozen raspberries, you can skip this step.
Then, in a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, lemon zest, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and mashed raspberries until they are fully combined.
Once this is done, you’ll add the eggs one at a time, beating them well after each addition. After the mixture is fully incorporated, you’ll stir in the remaining 1 1/4 cups of whole raspberries.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, measure out the dough and roll it into balls.

Then place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. At this point, I recommend you form the cookie shape by slightly flattening each cookie ball placed onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Next is baking time. You’ll bake them for 20-22 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges.
While the cookies bake, make the keto lemon glaze for the cookies by mixing in a small bowl the sugar-free confectioner’s sweetener, lemon extract, and heavy whipping cream.
Once the cookies are allowed to cool on a cooling rack, you can drizzle them with lemon glaze. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three weeks.
Best Sugar Substitute Options For Sugar-Free Raspberry Cookies
When it comes to choosing your low-carb sweetener, I have several options that work well with this recipe. I really like Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener because the texture is spot on and because there is barely any aftertaste.
This is a great one, especially if you are new to sugar substitutes because it mimics sugar the most in my book. I’m also partial to Swerve an erythritol blend.
However, you should keep in mind that it does have a bit more of a cooling aftertaste that some people dislike.
Alternatively, you could also use stevia and erythritol-based brand like Pyure. This is if you prefer to use stevia in your baked goods. If you go this route, you need to reduce the amount by half since it is twice as sweet.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.
I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.
However, when it comes to the keto lemon icing, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.

Notes
Note that you can use fresh or frozen raspberries. If you decide to use frozen there is no need to reserve some of the frozen raspberries to mash.
It's important to keep in mind that the raspberries add a lot of moisture to the cookies which is why you want to store them in the refrigerator to avoid quick spoilage.
