Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans toasted (can be used without toasting)
- ½ cup allulose or other powdered keto sweetener
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 ⅔ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Dusting
- ½ cup allulose or other powdered keto sweetener
Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Place the pecans in a food processor and grind them until fine. Don't process for too long as you will end up with pecan butter.
- In a large mixing bowl add the butter and allulose. Cream until smooth.
- Add the pecans and remaining ingredients and work the mixture into a dough.
- Form the dough into a large ball and cover with shrink wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the dough is firm.
- Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and using a small cookie scoop make small balls of the dough. Roll the balls in the allulose for dusting and place on the baking sheets.
- Freeze the cookie balls for 15 minutes. This helps to keep the ball shape when cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
- Remove the cookies from the freezer and bake for 15 minutes until they are golden at the bottom. Do not over bake. They may look like dough but will harden once cooled.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then dip the cookie balls back into the allulose for another dusting.
- Place on a wire rack to completely cool. You may want to give them another dip in the allulose for a more snowy look.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple weeks or freeze for 1-2 months. You may need to toss in powdered sugar again once thawed
