Tips for Excellent Almond Butter Keto Cookies

• Make sure you use a smooth kind of almond butter. It will ensure that your cookies are the best they can be. I recommend either Justin’s Almond Butter or Barney’s Smooth Almond Butter which can both be gotton for a reasonable price on Amazon.

• Make sure you chill the almond butter keto cookies before baking. Just pop the cookies in a fridge for at least 15 minutes prior to baking. If you bake them at room temperature, they may spread out too much. Chilling before baking will help the cookies keep their original shape. 
• These low carb almond butter cookies will be soft after baking, which may worry you, but once they cool down you will have that perfect crunchy-on-the-outside and chewy-in-the-inside texture.
• If you want to improve the taste of this cookie recipe even more, you can add in some low carb chocolate chips or some chopped almonds for some crunch.

Ingredients to Make 3 Ingredient Keto Almond Butter oCokies

These are the 3 ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies:

• 1 cup of almond butter (I recommend Barney’s Smooth Almond Butter)
• 2/3 cup granulated sweetener, like Swerve or Lakanto
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 cup (190g) keto friendly chocolate chips (optional, but will improve taste)

How to Make Keto Almond Butter Cookies

To make these yummy keto cookies with almond butter, gather all your ingredients in one place and preheat your oven to 350F.

Then line a cookie sheet with baking paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, sweetener, and egg.

Then shape the mixture into 12 equal balls.

Arrange the balls on the baking sheet and press each with a fork to flatten and create a crisscross pattern. Then chill the cookies for at least 15 minutes.

Bake the cookies for 8 minutes (some ovens may go to 10, but not more than that).

Take these delicious 3 ingredient almond butter cookies out of the oven and cool for about 20 minutes.

Once cooled, these almond butter keto cookies will harden and you can now serve them with a glass of almond milk or keto crock pot hot chocolate!
