One great thing about these gluten free Italian pignoli cookies is you can make them keto-friendly! So if you’re looking for easy gluten free holiday baking ideas with fewer carbs, make these. Ensure you’re using 100% almond butter instead of sweetened almond paste and swap the sugar for Swerve or your favourite artificial sweetener. Sprinkle finely ground sweetener over them before serving. Made this way, they will only be 1 or 2 net carbs per piece, making them ideal for keto eating! These are perhaps the best Italian Christmas cookies if you want a low carb idea.
