# List of Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
→ Drizzle
09 - 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
10 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt, and powdered erythritol until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate large bowl, combine melted butter, almond butter, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and creamy.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly using the back of a spoon.
06 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered erythritol, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth, pourable consistency is reached. Add more almond milk as needed to thin.
08 - Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cookies and allow to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The almond butter base creates the richest, chewiest texture without a single gram of refined sugar.
- The drizzle hardens into a delicate sweet shell that makes every bite feel indulgent and special.
02 -
- These cookies are extremely fragile while warm, so resist the urge to move them off the baking sheet until they are completely cool or they will crumble apart.
- The drizzle consistency can make or break the presentation, so add almond milk literally one drop at a time until it flows like honey rather than water.
03 -
- Warm the almond butter slightly before mixing so it blends seamlessly with the other wet ingredients and creates a silkier dough.
- For the most professional looking drizzle, put the glaze in a small zip top bag, snip a tiny corner off, and pipe thin lines across each cookie with steady, even pressure.
