Cookies & Wafers

Low carb cookies have come a long way from the dry, chalky things that passed for sugar-free a decade ago. GluteNull Bakery's keto almond, ChocoLin and lemon coconut cookies are made with almond flour. Quest and Atkins soft and chewy cookies are built around protein.

For something closer to the grocery aisle, Nabisco Zero Sugar Oreos and Voortman's sugar-free cookies sit side by side. La Nouba's crisp wafers with Belgian chocolate and RipVan's low sugar wafers are the ones to keep by the coffee maker. Jennies sugar-free coconut macaroons are chewy, gluten-free and kosher.

Sweeteners range from erythritol and stevia to sucralose and maltitol, which is worth noticing if you're sensitive. Net carbs per cookie run from under a gram to several, so compare before stocking up. Prefer baking? See Baking Mixes.
