Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
