# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely chewy and indulgent despite being keto-friendly, so you don't feel like you're missing out.
  • The maple flavor is unmistakable without any artificial aftertaste, making them taste like a treat, not a diet food.
  • They come together in under 30 minutes, which means you can have warm cookies faster than you'd expect.
02 -
  • Don't skip the creaming step—if your butter and sweetener aren't fluffy, your cookies will be dense no matter what else you do.
  • Maple extract concentration varies by brand, so taste your dough and adjust if it seems weak; a half teaspoon extra makes all the difference.
03 -
  • If you want extra maple punch, brush each cooled cookie with a thin maple glaze made from powdered erythritol, a splash of cream, and a drop of maple extract.
  • Use an ice cream scoop instead of a spoon to get uniform cookie sizes that bake evenly and look intentional on the plate.
