These Keto Butter Cookies are a delicious, low-carb treat that you can enjoy without feeling guilty! They’re buttery, crumbly, and perfect for a snack or dessert on a keto diet.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 2: Shape the Cookies
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers or a fork to form a cookie shape.
Step 3: Bake
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Serve
Enjoy these Keto Butter Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- If you want to add some variety, you can mix in sugar-free chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, or a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
- For a festive touch, you can also roll the dough balls in some cinnamon or coconut flakes before baking.
These cookies are an easy and delightful treat to keep your keto cravings at bay! Enjoy! 🍪
