Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour or almond meal
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener of choice (erythritol, a monk fruit blend, or powdered xylitol)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 tsp water (or as needed)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Stir all dry ingredients very well. Add wet to form a cookie dough. Flatten dough with your hands. If desired, use a cookie cutter to form shapes of choice.
Use your hands or a cookie scoop and spoon to shape the keto sugar cookie dough into sugar cookie shapes. Or flatten the dough and use cookie cutters to make hearts, stars, Christmas trees, or other sugar cookie shapes of choice.
If adding sprinkles or edible glitter to the tops, do so at this time.
Place the decorated unbaked cookies on a baking sheet, and bake on the center rack of the oven for 12 minutes.
Let the keto cookies cool fully on the baking tray before handling, as they will firm up considerably as they cool.
Wait until they are no longer hot before icing, because frosting can melt when added to a warm cookie.
Icing
You can make a homemade keto sugar cookie frosting by beating room temperature 8 ounces of cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese) with 4 ounces of butter, 2 cups of sugar-free powdered sugar or erythritol, and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract or water. Add more water if a thinner texture is desired.
Alternate Keto Lemon Sugar Cookies:
To turn the recipe into a sugar free lemon cookie, simply add the zest of two lemons when you mix in the wet ingredients. Use lemon juice instead of water.
