Keto Almond Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine and mix all dry ingredients.
• Add softened butter and rub into dry ingredients until even (produces a slightly grainy texture).
• Add egg whites and mix well.
• Using a leveled tbsp, plop dough onto parchment paper. Press each cookie down with a fork. You can use your fingers to fix the shape.
• Bake 18-20 minutes depending on desired -- brown-ness I guess. I like mine darker, so 20 minutes is good and still gives you a soft middle.
• Remove to cool on a wire rack and munch away.
• Notes: I used natural almond flour, not blanched, so my cookies are dark to begin with. I think either would be fine for the recipe.
• I suggest melting some dark chocolate and dipping the cookies in half way for extra yumminess. Lindt 85%, 90% or even 99% would be good depending on your needs.

Steps:

• Whisk the almond and coconut flours in a small bowl.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the almond extract and egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and continue beating until just combined and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in the sliced almonds.
• Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment or wax paper and use the paper to help mold the dough into a 10-by-2-inch log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Steps:

• In food processor, place almond flour, coconut flour, sugar replacement and salt. Pulse until combined. Add butter, cream cheese and almond extract; pulse 8 to 10 times or until dough begins to come together. Remove dough; shape into flattened disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours or until firm.
• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Place chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper; roll into 10x8-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Peel top piece of parchment paper off dough.
• Cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Place rectangles 1 inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheets. Prick with fork, if desired.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
