These 3 Ingredient Keto Sugar Cookies are a simple, low-carb treat perfect for anyone following a keto lifestyle. Made with just butter, powdered erythritol or monkfruit sweetener, and almond flour, these cookies are easy to prepare, buttery, and deliciously crisp with a tender texture. The recipe requires minimal ingredients and a quick bake time, making it an ideal option for a quick keto-friendly dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) salted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (87 g) powdered erythritol or monkfruit sweetener
  • 2 cups (205 g) superfine blanched almond flour

Instructions

  1. Beat Butter and Sweetener: In a large bowl, add the softened butter and powdered erythritol or monkfruit sweetener. Use a mixer to beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
  2. Add Almond Flour: Incorporate the superfine almond flour into the butter mixture using a spatula, mixing just until evenly combined to form a dough.
  3. Roll the Dough: Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and put the dough in the center. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper on top. Roll out the dough between the parchment layers to about 1/4-inch thickness. Chill the rolled dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to firm it up.
  4. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  5. Cut Cookies: Use 2-inch or 3-inch cookie cutters to cut shapes from the chilled dough. Arrange the cookie cut-outs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3/4 inch of space between each for even baking. Re-roll any leftover dough scraps and repeat cutting as necessary.
  6. Handle Dough Properly: If the dough becomes too soft or warm during shaping, place it back in the fridge or freezer to firm it up, making it easier to work with.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on the cookie shapes, thickness, and size.
  8. Cool Before Decorating: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before decorating or serving to ensure they set properly.

Notes

  • Use superfine blanched almond flour for best texture and to avoid graininess.
  • Powdered erythritol or monkfruit sweeteners are recommended for a smooth, sweet flavor without adding carbs.
  • Chilling the dough is important to prevent spreading and to maintain cookie shape.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For additional flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the dough if desired (optional).
