Allergens
Nuts (almond flour)
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/3 cup sugar
- free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, softened butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well incorporated and a dough forms.
- If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough.
- Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 18 20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef’s Insight
Using cold butter can help the dough hold its shape better when forming the balls.
Notes
Be sure to use a keto-friendly sweetener, as regular sugar will increase the carb count.
