Keto Cookies With Almond Flour
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 to 1 cup keto-friendly sweetener adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sugar-free chocolate chips chopped nuts, unsweetened coconut flakes, etc.
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat.
Cream the Butter and Sweetener
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and keto-friendly sweetener until well combined. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon.
Add the Egg and Vanilla
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. If you're using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Shape the Cookies
- Use a spoon or your hands to shape the cookie dough into small rounds or drop cookies. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Flatten the Cookies
- To help the cookies spread and bake evenly, gently flatten them with the back of a fork.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary based on your oven and the size of your cookies.
Cool and Enjoy
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store
- Once fully cooled, store your keto almond flour cookies in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed for several days.
