I made them for my nephew, who is 11 years old and has an insatiable sweet tooth. Unfortunately, three years ago, doctors diagnosed him with type 1 diabetes, and our whole family struggled to prepare meals adequate to his new diet. Here we go. These rose hip cookies were a success. He loved them and could eat as many as he wanted.
Raw rose hip cookies are gluten-free, paleo, and keto; they’re healthy and great options for vegetarians. They make delicious snacks or breakfast on the go!
These gluten-free and keto cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth and beautifully decorate your Christmas table. They are best with a warm cup of rosehip tea.

Just Two Ingredients!
No flour, no eggs, gluten-fee.
Just homemade and almond flour.
Rosehip jam
Rosehip jam is one of my favorite jams to use during Christmas. Not only because of its flavor and aroma but also its many health benefits. Rosehip jam is known for its high content of vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system during the cold winter. It also contains antioxidants, which can help protect your body from illnesses and diseases. In addition, the jam has a sweet and tart taste that is perfect for spreading on toast, muffins, or scones. Rosehip jam is a great way to get your family into the festive spirit while enjoying some tasty treats!
I love to use my homemade rosehip jam, but a store-bought rosehip jam will also make a job.
Almond flour
Made of ground almonds, almond flour is incredibly nutritious, and particularly rich in vitamin E and magnesium. It is also naturally low in carbohydrates and even gluten-free, so it is suitable for people with diabetes or celiac disease, just like these gluten free pumpkin cookies.
I like almond flour in other recipes, such as Elderberry curd tart or protein balls with rosehips.
2-ingredient cookie recipe
First step – Combine the ingredients.
Combine almond flour with rosehip jam in a mixing bowl. Stir them with a spatula until the batter is sticky and slightly wet.
You will need almond flour and rose hip jam to make these delicious cookies
Second step – Making cookie dough.
Knead the ingredients with your hands until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you may want to oil your hands first with coconut oil.
Divide the dough into two batches and chill the dough balls in the fridge for 20 minutes before making this recipe.
Third step – Cut cookie flowers.
Place the chilled dough onto a floured surface and roll to about ¼ inch (5mm) thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut various shapes. Repeat with the remaining batch of the cookie dough ball.
Fourth step – Decorate.
Decorate with pecans or almonds
Substitutions:
- Rosehip jam – you can substitute for another kind of jam. Just make sure the jam structure is rather liquid than solid.
- Almond flour can be replaced with coconut flour, but the recipe will need further adjustments. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture. Thus adjusting the amount of rosehip jam is required.
- I used pecans and almonds for decoration, but you can use other nuts or alternative ingredients like dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or raisins. You can also use different sprinkles or shredded coconut for more visual appeal.
- If you like sweet cookies, you can add some sweeteners to the cookie dough, such as maple syrup or honey. For a sugar free version, use the sugar-free maple syrup.
Tips to make the best 2 ingredient cookies
- The dough will be very sticky because these cookies have no leavening agents, flour, or eggs. Refrigerating it thickens it and makes sit much easier to work with.
- The keto-friendly cookies must cool to room temperature completely. They will crumble and fall apart if you try to move or pick them up while they are still warm.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt to bring out the sweet and salty flavors.
Storing and freezing tips
- To store: Cookies will keep at room temperature for a couple of weeks. Keep them covered so that they don’t dry out.
- To freeze: Put the remaining cookies into an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 6 months. They may break if you use a zip-lock.
Since we don’t use any eggs in this recipe or flour, these raw rose hip cookies are very safe to eat unbaked.
The rosehip jam is already sweet, but you can still add honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup to the dough to make it sweeter. The syrup acts as a binding agent and adds sweetness to the cookies; however, Too much syrup may soften the dough, so use it with caution.
What do 2 ingredient cookies taste like?
Rosehip jam has a tart, fruity flavor. Almond cookies have a nutty, sweet flavor. Together, the two ingredients create a unique combination of tart and sweet flavors.
Cookie Texture
These cookies have a firm exterior but are soft when you bite in. The texture is both crunchy and chewy.
Can I add chocolate to the recipe?
If you are craving chocolate cookies, you can add chocolate chips to the dough or use them for decoration.

I can’t wait to try these! Rosehips are so yummy and good for you! This recipe looks so easy, too!! Thank you for sharing!
These look SO yummy! I used to grow rugosas which produced monster hips for jelly. Every place we move, I plant more rugosas. I need to stay put long enough to harvest again! I’ll keep this recipe until then – should be next year, if I planted them correctly.
These sound so yummy and look so pretty! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Wow, 2 ingredients and no baking? Definitely something I can do and a great way to get nutrition into a sweet snack, can’t wait to try this
These look delicious! Passing this post along to my diabetic family members who are looking for healthier alternatives.
I have two brothers with diabetes and I love that you mentioned that this is a great recipe for them!!! I always feel bad when they miss out!
Looks delicious!How do you feel about the loss of vitamin C during the process? I struggle to decide if it’s optimal or not to prepare it. <3
Sorry, I was referring to the jam recipe
Hi, the rosehip jam is great in its taste and multiple uses. Unfortunately, most of the Vitamin C is gone with the cooking. If you want to use rosehips for their vitamin C, I would make tea, syrup or rosehip powder instead.
