Ingredients for Keto Pecan Cookies
- 2 cups of Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons of Erythritol
- ½ teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 4 ounces of Unsalted Butter, chilled
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
- 2 tablespoons of Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- 16 Pecan Halves
How To Make Keto Pecan Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 160C/320F and prepare your cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- In your food processor add the almond flour, natvia, baking powder and butter. Pulse until the mixture starts to stick together.
- Add the egg, vanilla and Sugar-Free Maple Syrup and blend until it is all combined.
- Scrape the mixture out into a mixing bowl, and roll together using your hands (we find food safe gloves great for keeping your hands clean). If the dough is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour and gently knead through.
- Split the dough in half and each half into 8 evenly sized pieces, roll each piece into a ball and gently press onto your prepared cookie sheet. The cookies do not spread and will retain almost the same shape that your press them into.
- Press a pecan half into the center of each cookie.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. They are cooked when golden brown with firm edges.
- Allow time to cool before enjoying your fresh baked low carb pecan cookies.
Make your keto pecan cookies ahead of time in a batch and keep them on hand to beat cravings or as a tasty treat when friends visit.
