Peppermint Keto Christmas Cookies

These peppermint keto Christmas cookies combine almond flour and a sugar-free sweetener to create a low-carb treat with a festive peppermint flavor. The dough is chilled and shaped into logs, then sliced and optionally rolled in crushed sugar-free peppermint candy before baking to give a crunchy peppermint coating. Some cookies are dipped in chocolate for added richness. They offer a tender, slightly crisp texture ideal for holiday snacking or gifting.
