Crisp, buttery and delicate, these easy keto butter cookies are made with just 6 ingredients. Baked with almond flour they are a delicious low carb and gluten free treat.
How to make keto butter cookies
This is a simple low carb cookie recipe that uses a few basic ingredients:
- Almond flour - It must be finely ground almond flour for the smooth texture of the cookies.
- Egg
- Butter - This must be softened at room temperature
- Allulose - any other powdered low carb sweetener can be used. I prefer allulose as it does not have an "icy" aftertaste.
- Vanilla extract & salt.
It is as simple as mixing the ingredients in a bowl until you have a smooth and creamy dough. The dough will be soft and needs to be piped rather than rolled and cookies cut from it.
Chilling the cookies 10 minutes before baking helps give them their crispy texture.
Recipe Tips
Almond flour is essential for these cookies and cannot be substituted with coconut flour. Coconut flour in this recipe would result in dry cookies.
Once cool, dip the cookies in melted sugar free chocolate for an extra flavour.
Store the cookies in a tupperware container in the fridge. They will harden the next day but still have a soft centre.
