Keto Sugar Cookies Recipe
Description
The Keto Sugar Cookies Recipe uses butter and monkfruit sweetener creamed together with eggs and both vanilla and almond extracts for flavor depth. Almond flour and coconut flour provide the main structure, supported by baking powder and salt to give a subtle rise and balance. After mixing, the dough is chilled to firm up, making it easier to roll thin and cut with cookie cutters into various shapes.
Baked at 350°F (180°C), these cookies hold their form and yield a soft crumb that is not dry or crumbly, despite the absence of traditional wheat flour. The use of powdered monkfruit sugar for dusting adds a slight sweetness and a finished look. This recipe suits home bakers seeking a sugar cookie alternative compatible with a low-carb lifestyle and enjoying classic cookie shapes.
Chilling the dough is crucial for handling and to prevent spreading during baking. Using parchment paper when rolling helps avoid sticking and facilitates easy transfer. The cookies can be lifted gently with an offset spatula to preserve their shape.
