    I replaced the erythritol with 20g of powdered maple sugar (I don’t like the taste), and I used a food processor to mix the dough instead of the hand mixer. Tastes pretty good.

      Powdered maple sugar sound good but would make this not keto anymore

    I reduced the sweetener to 1/8 cup and added 1/4 cup linseed meal (increases the carbs per serve insubstantially)

      Good idea! Adding ground flax or chia seeds would be great too. If I added pecans my hubby might enjoy :0)

    Kindly explain what is meant by "flipping the sheet"? (step 5) Thank you 😊

      I think they mean to say "flip the parchment paper over". That is, you put the dough on parchment paper, cut the dough, then put the parchment paper + cut dough onto a baking sheet. So, halfway through baking you can pick up the parchment paper and flip it over. Then what had been the top of the dough becomes the bottom for the remainder of the baking time.
