Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt

Optional Icing:

• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
• 1-2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Cream Butter and Sweetener:

   In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Add Wet Ingredients:

   Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Form the Dough:

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

6. Shape the Cookies:

   Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and flatten each with the back of a fork or your palm.

7. Bake:

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

8. Cool and Enjoy:

   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Icing

1. Prepare the Icing:

   In a small bowl, mix powdered erythritol, milk or heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. Decorate:

   Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies. Let it set before serving.

Tips

• For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough.
• Decorate with a keto-friendly icing made from powdered erythritol and a bit of milk or butter for an extra touch.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
