# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These taste like real cookies, not diet food, and nobody will guess they're low carb
  • The texture is perfect crispy edges with a tender center and that satisfying nutty crunch
02 -
  • These cookies continue to crisp as they cool, so pulling them out when they look slightly underdone is the secret to avoiding dry, crumbly results
  • The dough will feel softer than traditional cookie dough and that's completely normal, so don't be tempted to add more flour or they'll turn out dense
03 -
  • Weigh your almond flour if possible, as measuring by cup can vary significantly between brands and affect the final texture
  • Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing, otherwise it might start cooking the egg when combined
