Best Keto Almond Cookies Recipes

KETO CREAM CHEESE COOKIES WITH ALMOND FLOUR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk butter, cream cheese, and sweetener together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
• Combine almond flour and salt in a bowl; whisk into butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until a crumbly dough is formed. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets; flatten with a spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Remove and let cool on a wire rack. Once completely cool, drizzle with melted dark chocolate.

KETO ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine and mix all dry ingredients.
• Add softened butter and rub into dry ingredients until even (produces a slightly grainy texture).
• Add egg whites and mix well.
• Using a leveled tbsp, plop dough onto parchment paper. Press each cookie down with a fork. You can use your fingers to fix the shape.
• Bake 18-20 minutes depending on desired -- brown-ness I guess. I like mine darker, so 20 minutes is good and still gives you a soft middle.
• Remove to cool on a wire rack and munch away.
• Notes: I used natural almond flour, not blanched, so my cookies are dark to begin with. I think either would be fine for the recipe.
• I suggest melting some dark chocolate and dipping the cookies in half way for extra yumminess. Lindt 85%, 90% or even 99% would be good depending on your needs.

Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours or until firm.
• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Place chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper; roll into 10x8-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Peel top piece of parchment paper off dough.
• Cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Place rectangles 1 inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheets. Prick with fork, if desired.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

KETO ALMOND SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix together the almond and coconut flours in a small bowl.
• Combine the butter and erythritol in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute more. Add the almond extract and egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and continue beating until just combined and smooth. Gently fold in the almonds.
• Place the mixture onto a piece of parchment or wax paper and, using the paper, mold the dough into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
