# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They satisfy that serious cookie craving without kicking you out of ketosis
  • The texture is incredibly tender, not the usual crumbly almond flour disaster
  • Your non-keto friends will never guess these're sugar-free
02 -
  • The first time I made these I tried to skip the cooling step and they crumbled everywhere, patience is actually an ingredient here
  • If your dough feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes before scooping
  • These cookies continue to firm up as they cool, so don't panic if they seem soft right out of the oven
03 -
  • Weigh your almond flour instead of using cup measurements, consistency will change your keto baking life
  • If you want extra maple flavor, add another half teaspoon of extract, but don't go overboard
  • Room temperature ingredients aren't a suggestion, they're the difference between cookies that spread nicely and cookies that stay in sad little mounds
