Keto Butter Cookies
Description
The Keto Butter Cookies recipe uses almond flour as the main dry ingredient mixed with softened butter, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and a powdered sweetener suitable for low-carb diets. Xanthan gum is optional and helps provide structure. The dough is whipped until airy and combined until smooth before being piped into individual portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baked at a moderate temperature, the cookies become lightly browned on the ridges while remaining tender inside. The texture is delicate and crisp, requiring careful handling while hot. After cooling, the cookies firm up and develop a pleasant crispness, perfect for snacking or pairing with coffee or tea.
These cookies can be adjusted for sweetness to preference before baking and stored in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Their low net carb content makes them suitable for ketogenic and other low-sugar eating plans.
Ingredients
- 2 cup almond flour or ground almonds, 200g
- ¾ cup butter room temperature, 170g
- ⅓ cup powdered sweetener 55g, use ½ cup for a sweeter cookie
- 1 egg large, yolk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract sugar free
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C electric / 160C fan / 350 F.
- Blend the butter, egg yolk, vanilla extract and powdered sweetener for about 1 minute until smooth, fluffy and airy.
- Add the almond flour and xanthan gum and blend until combined. Taste the dough and adjust sweetener to taste.
- Fill the cookie dough into a piping bag and pipe onto a cookie sheet lined with baking paper. Make sure you don't pipe them too flat or they may become fragile. Also, leave space between the cookies as they will spread a little.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the ridges.
- Let the cookies cool fully before touching. They are very fragile when hot, but crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- The cookies contain about 8g net carbs each and yield 24 cookies.
- Store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Use a sturdy piping bag, cookie press, or shape the dough by hand if preferred.
- Adjust the sweetener before baking to achieve desired sweetness; 1/3 cup is the minimum suggested.
- Using less butter results in a firmer dough that is harder to pipe but can be spooned instead.
