Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

  1. Scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly to form a cookie shape.
  2. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6: Bake

Tips for Perfect Keto Cookies:

  • Sweetener Substitution: Use allulose or monk fruit sweetener if you prefer a different texture or taste.
  • Dough Consistency: If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for 20 minutes before shaping the cookies.
  • Crunchier Cookies: Bake for an extra 2-3 minutes for crispier edges.

Storage:

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigeration: Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week for longer freshness.
  • Freezer: Freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
