Keto 3 Ingredient Almond Butter Cookies
Description
This recipe combines runny almond butter, one large egg, and a granulated sweetener to create a simple dough. The dough is gently blended until homogenous, portioned into balls, and then flattened into discs with fork tines forming a crisscross design. Baking at moderate heat produces cookies that hold their form with a delicate crust and tender interior.
The almond butter imparts a nutty flavor and moist texture, while the sweetener adds sweetness without sugar. The recipe allows optional variations such as adding cinnamon, vanilla, or sugar-free chocolate chips to enhance flavor without increasing carbs. The crisscross pattern on top is traditional for almond butter cookies and adds a slight texture contrast.
These cookies are suitable for anyone following a keto diet or those seeking a low-carb treat. Storage in an airtight container keeps them fresh for about a week, and they freeze well for longer keeping. Adjusting bake time lets users create smaller or softer cookies depending on preference.

- 1 egg large
- ½ cup granulated sweetener 100g, use ⅔ cup for a sweeter cookie
