Introduction

These Keto Copycat Lofthouse Cookies are soft, buttery, and perfectly sweetened without any sugar. They make a delightful low-carb treat that’s easy to bake and deliciously satisfying.

A soft, thick cookie holds one layer of smooth, bright pink frosting evenly spread across the top, sprinkled with small colorful candy pieces in red, green, blue, orange, white, yellow, and pink. The cookie is pale golden with a slightly cracked texture. A woman's hand is holding the cookie close to the camera. In the blurred background, a white plate shows three more cookies, each with the same bright pink frosting and colorful sprinkles, all set against a black background and placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted or salted butter (softened, for frosting)
1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (for frosting)
1/8 tsp natural pink food coloring powder or food coloring of choice (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough forms, then let it rest for a minute or two to thicken.
Step 3: Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Place them on the cookie sheet and gently flatten each one to slightly thinner than your desired final thickness, as they will puff up while baking.
Step 4: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely.
Step 5: For the frosting, combine the softened butter and powdered sweetener (sift first if needed to remove clumps). Mix until smooth, then add food coloring until you reach your preferred shade.
Step 6: Spread the frosting evenly on the cooled cookies. Serve and enjoy your keto-friendly treat!

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract to the dough.
If you want a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and check the sweetener for compatibility.
Use a piping bag to decorate the frosting neatly for a professional look.

Storage

Store the frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To soften chilled cookies, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
