How to make these easy Keto cookies
To make the Keto-friendly cookie dough, add the almond flour, powdered sweetener, and cold butter to your food processor and pulse until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and pulse for a few more seconds until the dough comes together. Wrap the cookie dough in cling film, then chill for at least 1 hour. Roll out the dough and cut it into your preferred shape. Bake the cookies until golden around the edges.
It is crucial that you use cold butter for this recipe instead of room temperature or melted butter. Using cold butter yields cookies that melt as soon as you take a bite.
How long can you store these cookies for?
After they cool completely, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will remain fresh and crispy for up to 3 days. After that, you can repurpose them into a cheesecake crust or make them into these delicious Keto cocadas https://my.carbmanager.com/meals/recipes?dialog=food-detail:ug:8ecfb383904a43338b7bf6281c3c826f

2 tbsp

Recipe Steps
steps 6
1 h 25 min
Step 1
To a food processor, add the almond flour, powdered sweetener, and butter. Pulse for 20-30 seconds until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble. The mixture should have some pea-sized pieces of butter running through it.Step 2
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse a couple more times until the dough starts to come together. Do not over mix the dough.Step 3
Tip the dough ball out and onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Flatten the ball into a rough square shape. Cover and chill for at least an hour.Step 4
Preheat your oven to 350 F/ 180 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Take the dough out of the fridge, remove the plastic wrap, and roll it out between 2 layers of baking paper until ¼ inch thick.Step 5
Use a 2-inch circular cookie cutter to cut the dough into cookies. Gently transfer them to the baking sheet and make a pattern on their surface using a fork. If at any point the dough starts to tear or lose its shape, freeze it for a couple of minutes, then continue working with it.Step 6
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until golden around the edges. Set the baking sheet aside and let the cookies cool completely before handling. They will be soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool. Serve them fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Great cookie. Replaced the artificial sugar with monk powder (I use 1/4 of a teaspoon for every tablespoon of sugar).

The dough is like wet sand, it is very difficult to roll out. The taste is the same - the sand is sickeningly sweet

These were delicious! I sprinkled a little cinnamon on them before baking.
