    These delicious keto butter cookies have an almost shortbread taste. Just 4 ingredients are used to make this simple and easy cookie recipe. Baked with almond flour they are also gluten free and paleo.

    Keto butter cookies are low in carbs but high in taste. The rich buttery flavour could almost convince you that they are the real thing!

    Almond flour is a great low carb flour to bake cookies with. It helps gives these cookies a shortbread texture and does not overpower the flavour. Other low carb nut flours such as walnut or pecan could be uses as a replacement.

    How to make keto butter cookies

    Just 4 ingredients are need to make these low carb cookies:

    • Almond flour
    • Butter
    • Low carb sweetener - I prefer to use powdered low carb sweetener so that there is no grainy texture. I like a monkfruit/erythritol mix.
    • Vanilla extract

    Recipe Tips

    When the cookies are fresh from the oven they will be very delicate to handle. You must allow them to cool completely.

    I store my cookies in a sealed container and keep them in the fridge.

    Instead of rolling out the dough and using a cookie cutter, use a cookie scoop to form cookies. Hand made rustic or even cut they taste the same!

    The almond flour could be replaced with walnut flour or pecan flour. Coconut flour should not be used as it will make a dry cookie.

      Just found your Blog and love it! These cookies, and your Hazelnut Orange cookies are just what I'm looking for to use in this really pretty shortbread pan I have. It has a snowflake impression and after the cookies come out you dust them with a powdered sweetener. I know it's still Spring, (at least where I live) but Autumn is my favorite time of year and I was only able to use that pan once last year. As soon as you said your husband loves shortbread I knew. Thanks for the lovely recipes..

        One cup is 96g so 3/4 of a cup will be about 72g. Happy baking!

      Yummmm !! I just made these but I used coconut oil instead of butter and 2 additional tablespoons of erythritol. Such a delicious and sweet cookie that took no effort or time! Way to go with this one!

      I love the idea of this recipe. It sounds like something right up my alley. I don't like very sweet things, and this sounds sweet enough to satisfy my husband the Cookie Monster without being too sweet for me. It will also be the perfect amount of cookies for two people. I can only hope he doesn't eat them all before I get to taste one!
