Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate cookies)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder if using, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
- Cream Butter: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter until it is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture for the cookies.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a consistent cookie dough. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips at this stage.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once cooled, your Magic Keto Cookies are ready to enjoy as a delicious low-carb snack or dessert.
Notes
- You can omit the cocoa powder and chocolate chips for plain almond-flavored cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven’s performance; watch for golden edges as a doneness cue.
- For a nut-free version, consider substituting almond flour with sunflower seed flour, though this may affect texture.
