Keto Sugar Cookies
Description
The Keto Sugar Cookies recipe uses almond flour, coconut flour, and powdered sweetener as dry ingredients, blended with softened unsalted butter and vanilla extract. The dough is chilled in a rolled log form then sliced into cookies to bake at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
While freshly baked cookies are soft, they firm up once cooled. The recipe permits optional xanthan gum for improved texture and precise measurements guide about net carb content. This cookie mix can be rolled and cut using cookie cutters if chilled well.
These cookies provide a low-carb treat option, suitable for those avoiding sugar, with a soft crumb and light flavor from the almond and coconut flours. They bake with golden edges and a tender center.
Ingredients
- 1 cup / 100g almond flour or ground almonds
- ⅓ cup / 35g coconut flour
- ⅓ cup / 35g powdered sweetener
- ½ cup / 120g butter softened, unsalted
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum optional
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients - almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using).
- Add the butter and vanilla extract and blend until you have a smooth dough
- Place dough on cling film and roll into a log, about 2 inch in diameter. Chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes (or in the fridge for 30-40 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 175 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
- Remove log from the freezer and cut off cookies. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten with your fingers. Leave some space between the cookies - they spread a little.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are browned. Baking time will depend on the thickness of cookies. Rotate the baking sheet if necessary.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before handling. Low carb cookies are VERY soft when hot. They crisp up once cooled.
Notes
- Each cookie contains approximately 1 gram of net carbs, with total yield of 18 cookies weighing 12 to 17 grams each.
- For cut-out shapes, roll dough between parchment sheets and chill before cutting; follow specific icing directions for sugar-free toppings.
- Regular almond flour is recommended; super-fine almond flour may cause crumbliness, necessitating a slight reduction in quantity.
