Low Carb Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cookies

Here is a pumpkin cream cheese cookie recipe that is low carb and so good no one will even know they are.  One of my favorite things about the beginning of fall is whipping out my pumpkin and creating delicious keto pumpkin recipes, like these cookies.

Pumpkin is so versatile, you can add some into your coffee, pair with pasta, or take a sweet route and create desserts. This is one of my go-to pumpkin recipes, it is a must to try. A delicious pumpkin cookie topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting. I seriously can't get enough of these. They are perfect for serving your guest for family gatherings and parties, or an afternoon treat for you and the family! If you want a cookie that melts in your mouth, these are it. The cookies really are so light and fluffy, they melt in your mouth. They offer a mild pumpkin flavor, that pairs perfectly with the cream cheese frosting. They aren't overly sweet, which is nice.

Make sure to prep some of these cookies ahead of time, toss in the freezer, and thaw when you want to serve some up! For me creating keto friendly recipes helps me stay on track during the holidays. It is so easy to be tempted when you have a table full of foods, so why not create some foods that fit into your diet, so that you know you can enjoy them without feeling guilty after. Make up a batch or two, enjoy some now and toss the rest in the freezer for later!
