I love cookies. As a matter of fact I was daydreaming the other day about having a cookie tasting party just as an excuse to eat cookies. But I know if I did I would get sick from them and I am trying to keep it low carb. So I came up with these little spice tea low carb cookies instead.

Only 5 Ingredients!

There are only 5 ingredients in these spice tea cookies: walnuts, tea, sweetener, egg and baking soda. They only have 0.8g of carbs per cookie and they are so easy. Best of all they are tasty and help curb my sweet tooth. 

And as for the sweetener, I used Swerve. I tried it with Splenda but it came out drier. They were ok but I preferred it with the Swerve. If you use another type of sweetener you will have to play around to get the texture you want.

Low Carb Cookies Recipe

The first thing you want to do is put your raw walnuts in a food processor. Blend on high until it starts to turn into a nut butter. You don’t want it too smooth but you want to break down the nuts and let the natural oils come out (see pic below for consistency).

Then you add your tea, egg, sweetener and baking soda and blend until well combined.

What Type Of Tea To Use

I used Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice tea because I wanted something spicy but wasn’t sure what combination to use and I knew I liked this tea. It turns out it was great! It’s herbal so there is no real tea in these bags but lots of tasty spices (cinnamon, ginger, carob).

They make a Bengal Spice Tea that is even more spicy (cardamon, black pepper, cloves) that I want to try in these cookies next. I can tell you that they only take minutes to make so if you are experimenting with sweeteners or tea,  it won’t take much of your time to make a new batch. (Amazon affiliate links)

What Is The Texture Of The Batter?

Above is the batter for the cookies. It’s sticky but it will spread on the pan. This batch made me 10 good sized cookies. You can make them smaller or larger if you want. It almost looks like nut butter doesn’t it. Make sure to use a silicone mat or parchment paper when baking.

The Texture Of These Baked Low Carb Cookies

And here is what they look like below. They are more chewy than crunchy. I think if you left them in longer they would be crunchy but I’m not sure to be honest.

Note they are not that sweet. If you are using regular sugar they will be sweeter but the whole point is that this is a low carb cookie.  And if you don’t care about the low carb thing but want a healthy cookie in a hurry, you can use coconut sugar as a substitute.

The final baked cookie – chewy and delicious!

I have already made this recipe at least 3 times. I like using the walnuts because they have essentially little flavor and are like a blank canvas and they are low in carbs. Also they break down into a butter quickly.

I think next time I might try one of my Steeped Teas and see how those go. I hope you like these as much as I do and if you come up with any flavors you would like me to try, drop me a comment and let me know. The nutrition for 1 cookie is: 

87 cals / 8.5g fat /1.6g carbs / 0.8g fiber / 2.6g protein  =  0.8 net carbs

    I am very excited to try these. Can I use liquid Monk fruit as my sweetener? I have to steer clear of the powdered and granular Stevia, etc. as the added ingredients such as inulin and erythritol upset my stomach.

      Hi Melanie, to be honest I’m not sure. I don’t think it will be a problem but I’m not sure if the powdered sweetener is adding a little bulk to the cookie? I’m sorry I’m not much help. But I do think it should work. Good luck!

    How do you use the tea in the cookies? Do you prepare the tea first with water or what?

      Hi Malkah,

      You just take the tea out of the tea bags and use it. Just add it to the batter like you would a spice.
      Hope that helps! I’ll add that to the recipe.

      Hi Cody,
      This recipe makes about 10 decent sized cookies. You could of course make them smaller and get more.
      I love cookies so this recipe has really satisfied me. I hope you like them too. It’s a basic recipe so you can
      even at more spice if you want.

    I love spice cookies. I have an old coffee grinder dedicated to grinding various spices. I love the tea idea! No grinding required!

    What a great idea to use raw walnuts to make cookies and I bet the gingerbread tea adds a nice flavor, they look delicious! And I like your idea to have a cookie tasting party 🙂
