Keto Butter Cookies (Printable)

Tender, buttery cookies with almond flour and a hint of vanilla, ideal for low-carb diets.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour
02 - 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt.
03 - Add softened butter and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
04 - Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
05 - Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
07 - Let cookies cool fully on the baking sheet before transferring, as they will be fragile when warm.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • These cookies taste exactly like the classic butter cookies you grew up with, but with only 1 net carb each
  • The dough comes together in minutes and requires no chilling, making them perfect for sudden cravings
  • They stay tender for days, unlike some low carb baked goods that get tough quickly
02 -
  • These cookies crumble easily when warm, so patience during cooling is absolutely essential
  • Overbaking by even 2 minutes will make them dry instead of tender, so set that timer carefully
03 -
  • Weigh your almond flour instead of using cup measurements for the most consistent results
  • If the dough feels too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before scooping
