Okay, so why do you need yet another keto cookie recipe? Let me explain:
Cheesecake texture, no springform pan required – Cheesecake is delicious but it takes time, patience, and a water bath (ugh). These cookies? Throw everything in a bowl, scoop, and bake.
The perfect sweet-tart combo – Cream cheese + raspberries = balance. The cream cheese brings the richness, the raspberries cut through with that bright, tangy pop.
No sugar crash – Thanks to keto-friendly sweeteners, you get the indulgence without the rollercoaster blood sugar ride.
Almond flour magic – It keeps these cookies low-carb, gluten-free, and adds a subtle nutty flavor that plays perfectly with cheesecake.
Basically, they’re everything you want from dessert without the carb hangover.
½ cup cream cheese – Softened. This is your cheesecake base.
1 egg – Helps hold everything together.
1 cup almond flour – Our trusty low-carb flour replacement.
¼ cup sweetener – Canderel Granular was used in this recipe, another can be used but you may need to adjust based on their sweetness
½ tsp vanilla extract – Because cookies need a little vanilla love.
½ tsp baking powder – Gives them a bit of lift.
¼ cup raspberries – Fresh or frozen (but if frozen, thaw and drain to avoid sogginess).
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the wet stuff – In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Add the dry stuff – Stir in the almond flour, sweetener, and baking powder until you’ve got a soft dough.
Fold in the raspberries – Gently! You want little bursts of berry, not pink mush.
Scoop ‘em – Drop large tablespoons of dough onto your baking sheet. Flatten slightly if you like thinner cookies.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are just turning golden.
Cool – Seriously, wait a few minutes. They set as they cool, and hot raspberries can burn the roof of your mouth. (Learn from my mistakes.)

Not bad, right? Sweet tooth satisfied without blowing your carb count.
These cookies are the perfect base for a little creative flair. Here’s how to play:
Double up the cheesecake vibes: Swirl in a teaspoon of sour cream with the cream cheese for tangier cookies.
Go chocolatey: Toss in a few sugar-free chocolate chips for a raspberry-chocolate cheesecake cookie situation.
Make it nutty: Add crushed pecans or walnuts for crunch.
Berry swap: Try blueberries or blackberries for a twist.
Store me in the fridge: If you Can't eat them in a day or so (which you so should!) Store in the fridge they can spoil quick.
Pro tip: These also freeze like a dream. Make a double batch, stash half in the freezer, and you’ve got emergency cheesecake cookies on standby.
Let’s be real—one of the biggest challenges with keto is the dessert struggle. Sure, meat and cheese are amazing, but sometimes you just need something that feels like dessert. The trick is finding that balance between indulgence and staying low-carb.
That’s why recipes like these Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies are gold. They hit all the cravings: sweet, creamy, a little fruity, and actually satisfying. Plus, you’re not left with a dozen overly complicated ingredients or a dessert that tastes like cardboard.
Cookies are great on their own, but why stop there?
Coffee date: These cookies + a hot cup of black coffee = pure happiness.
Evening treat: Pair with a dollop of whipped cream for a mini dessert plate.
Breakfast hack: Okay, I’m not saying eat cookies for breakfast… but I am saying if one sneaks onto your plate with your bacon and eggs, no one’s judging.
Yes! Frozen raspberries work great - just thaw and drain them first so the extra liquid doesn’t make your cookies soggy.
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them and thaw when the cheesecake craving strikes!
It may very well be all of them...
