Low Carb Girl Scout Cookies

‘Tis the season when a simple trip to your local grocery store turns into a guilt trip when adorable children and their cookies beg you for money. I can tell you from firsthand childhood experience that Girl Scout Cookies are the motherlode of temptation. However, with these four low carb Girl Scout Cookie recipes, you don’t have to fall victim to their processed, sugary ways. Below is the macro breakdown (calculated by the Carb Manager app), along with the time stamp for each recipe so you don’t have to sit through the whole 8 minutes if you’re just looking for one specific cookie.
Shortbread (00:17)
1g net carb, 4g fat, 1g protein per cookie in a batch of 49.
I used Bob’s Red Mill almond flour, and Swerve confectioner’s sweetener.
Samoas (02:18)
1g net carb, 4g fat, 1g protein per cookie in a batch of 20.
Make sure your coconut flakes are unsweetened!
Tagalongs (04:24)
1g net carb, 4g fat, 2g protein per cookie in a batch of 11.
I used Smucker’s All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. I used 1/2 cup and had a lot left over so you could use 1/4 cup and it should be enough.
Thin Mints (05:39)
2g net carbs, 7g fat, 2g protein per cookie in a batch of 24.
I used Swerve granular sweetener and Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa.
For all of the melted chocolate, I used Ghiradelli 100% Baker’s Chocolate with a little spoon of coconut oil. If you don’t like the bitterness of 100%, anything over 72% is acceptable, just try to avoid added sugars.
The macro calculations per cookie may vary depending on ingredient brands/size of your batch, but it’ll definitely be healthier than regular Girl Scout Cookies no matter what.
This year, avoid the bribery of cute children and their cookies, and make your own that you can feel good about! Let me know how yours turn out and if you have any tips on how these can be improved. Now, you can continue to low carb your life, even during Girl Scout Cookie season.
