Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 cup keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
- 1/2 cup softened butter or nut/seed butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- (Optional) 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- (Optional) 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- (Optional) 1/4 tsp ginger
- (Optional) 1/4 tsp allspice
- (Optional) 1/4 cup keto-friendly mix-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, colored baking chips, chopped nuts, or sugar-free sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325‑350 °F (160‑175 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, keto sweetener, baking powder, and optional spices.
- In another bowl, cream together softened butter (or nut/seed butter) with the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a dough. If dough is too soft, chill briefly or add a bit more almond flour.
- Roll the dough between sheets of parchment to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut dough with holiday cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheets.
- Chill the shaped cookies in the fridge or freezer for 10–20 minutes.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, until edges are just beginning to turn golden. Avoid overbaking.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
- If desired, decorate with keto-friendly icing or melted sugar-free chocolate once cooled. Let set before stacking or storing.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
- Customize with spices, chocolate, or nut-free alternatives as desired.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze for up to 3–4 months with parchment between layers.
- To reheat, warm in a low oven at 275 °F (135 °C) for a few minutes.
