Peppermint Keto Christmas Cookies
Description
Peppermint Keto Christmas Cookies are made primarily from almond flour mixed with sweetener, butter, and egg, which produces a tender yet sturdy cookie dough. The peppermint oil and optional crushed sugar-free peppermint candies provide a distinct cool mint flavor. Rolling the dough into logs and slicing ensures uniform thickness and consistent baking. Baking at a moderate temperature for about 16 to 18 minutes gives the cookies a light brown bottom and a firm edge while maintaining a tender center.
The cookies can be personalized by rolling some logs in peppermint candy for a festive coating or leaving others plain to be dipped in melted chocolate, adding richness and contrast. Cooling on racks helps maintain crisp edges and prevents sogginess. These cookies work well as a holiday treat that fits a keto diet by avoiding sugars and using sweeteners. Their flavor and texture contribute a seasonal twist to low-carb baking.
