Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup unsalted or salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 1/8 tsp natural pink food coloring powder (or food coloring of choice, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare dough: In a large bowl, combine all dry cookie ingredients—almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until a cohesive dough forms. Let the dough rest for one to two minutes to thicken slightly for easier handling.
  3. Shape cookies: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Arrange them spaced out on the prepared cookie sheet. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each ball to slightly thinner than your desired cookie thickness, keeping in mind they will puff up during baking.
  4. Bake cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light golden color. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  5. Make frosting: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter and powdered sugar-free sweetener until smooth and creamy. If desired, add natural pink food coloring powder or your preferred food coloring to reach the desired shade, and mix thoroughly.
  6. Frost cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over each cookie’s top using a knife or spatula. Let the frosting set slightly before serving.
  7. Enjoy: Serve these keto-friendly cookies as a delightful low-carb treat perfect for dessert or snacking.

Notes

  • Use powdered erythritol or a similar powdered sugar substitute to keep the frosting smooth and avoid graininess.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best dough and frosting consistency.
  • The dough resting step helps it to thicken so cookies hold their shape better during baking.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a festive twist, try other natural food coloring powders to create different frosting colors.
  • If you prefer, salted butter can be used in the frosting for a subtle salty-sweet balance.
