Almond flour cookie recipe

Ingredients

To make these keto almond cookies you’ll need 5 simple ingredients:

Almond flour: Opt for super-fine blanched almond flour, not almond meal.

Butter: Use high-quality butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.

Egg (room temperature)– you’ll need just one large egg.

Low-Carb Sweetener: Choose your favorite sugar-free sweetener: erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit are great options (I tend to use erythritol). Alternatively, use a natural sweetener like maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar if you don’t restrict your carb intake. 

Baking powder or soda with a few drops of lemon juice/apple cider vinegar.

Optional add-ins:

Pinch of Salt: Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt enhances sweetness and adds contrast in flavor.

Pure Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla extract provides a wonderful depth of flavor.

Almond Extract: Enhance the almond flavor even further.

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips or Chopped Dark Chocolate: A delightful addition to the cookies.

Almond Slices or Whole Almonds: Add them on top of the cookies for a beautiful presentation and added crunch.

Tips for the best results

Cooling Time: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents breakage.

Crispy vs. Soft: For a crunchier cookie, flatten the dough slightly on the baking sheet before baking. For a softer texture, form thicker cookies and reduce baking time by a couple of minutes.

Sweetener Experimentation: Erythritol tends to create a crisper cookie, while allulose results in a softer texture. You can also add a pinch of xanthan gum for extra chewy goodness.

And the last tip: make a double batch!
