📝 Ingredients

Ingredients (Just 4!)

• 1 cup almond flour
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup granular keto sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Why These Ingredients Work

• Almond flour gives the cookies a soft yet crumbly, shortbread-like texture.
• Butter creates that classic melt-in-your-mouth richness.
• Keto sweetener keeps them sugar-free without sacrificing sweetness.
• Vanilla enhances flavor and adds a warm, comforting aroma.

🧾 Ingredient Notes

• Almond flour: Use super-fine blanched for the best texture.
• Butter: Room-temperature butter mixes easier and creates smoother dough.
• Sweetener: Avoid powdered sweetener unless you prefer a softer cookie.
• Add-ins: Lemon zest, sugar-free chocolate chips, or cinnamon can be added for flavor variety.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and keto sweetener until light and fluffy. This helps the cookies achieve that perfect soft, buttery texture.

2. Add Vanilla

Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and flavor.

3. Add Almond Flour

Add the almond flour gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be smooth, soft, and slightly crumbly — this is normal for keto cookie dough.

4. Form the Cookies

Use your hands or a cookie scoop to form small balls of dough. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently flatten them with your fingers or a fork to create the classic cookie pattern.

5. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking — almond flour browns quickly.

6. Cool Before Serving

Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them. They will be soft when hot but firm up beautifully as they cool.

💡 Pro Tips / Variations

• Add ½ teaspoon cinnamon for a cozy fall flavor.
• Mix in sugar-free chocolate chips for a chocolate twist.
• Add lemon or orange zest for a bright, refreshing version.
• Want crunchier cookies? Bake 2–3 minutes longer.
• Store leftover dough in the fridge for up to 3 days to bake fresh anytime.
• For a deeper flavor, brown the butter before mixing — it adds a nutty richness.

🍽 Serving Suggestion

These cookies are perfect with:

• A cup of hot coffee
• Keto hot chocolate
• Almond milk
• A scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream
• Crushed on top of keto yogurt

Serve them warm for a soft texture or chilled for a firmer bite.

🧊 Storage Information

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
• Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 7 days.
• Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months. Thaw for 10 minutes before eating.

To freeze dough: roll into balls and freeze on a tray, then store in a bag. Bake straight from frozen — just add 1–2 minutes.
