Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or coconut oil)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk if the dough seems dry
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s crumbly, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
  4. Fold in extras (optional): Add sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for texture.
  5. Portion the dough: Scoop 1½-tablespoon portions onto the lined sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Roll gently into balls, then press to about 1/3-inch thick.
  6. Bake: Bake for 9–12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look a touch soft.
  7. Cool completely: Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a rack. They firm up as they cool.
