Introduction

These Keto Almond Flour Cookies are everything you want in a low-carb treat: light, crisp, and just sweet enough to satisfy your cravings without kicking you out of ketosis. Made with simple pantry staples and naturally gluten-free almond flour, they’re a breeze to whip up and ideal for anyone following a keto or grain-free diet.

Whether you’re meal prepping for the week, packing a lunchbox snack, or just need a crunchy bite with your afternoon coffee, these cookies deliver flavor and texture without the sugar spike.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips or slivered almonds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in the melted coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. If using chocolate chips or almonds, fold them in gently.

Step 4: Shape the Cookies
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
