Ingredients
Scale
Dry 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
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting
- 1/4 cup unsalted or salted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1/8 tsp natural pink food coloring powder (or food coloring of choice, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then stir well until a dough forms. Let the dough rest for a couple of minutes so it thickens slightly, making it easier to handle.
- Shape the Cookies: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet, then gently flatten each ball to a thickness slightly thinner than your desired final cookie thickness, as the cookies will puff up during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until they are set but still soft. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire rack.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the cookies cool, make the frosting by combining the softened butter and powdered sugar-free sweetener in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. If desired, add natural pink food coloring or your preferred color until the frosting reaches your desired shade.
- Frost the Cookies: Once cookies are fully cooled, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the top of each cookie. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For best results, use powdered sugar-free sweetener to create a smooth frosting texture.
- You can substitute natural food coloring or skip it entirely for a classic white frosting.
- Ensure the cookies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This recipe is keto-friendly and ideal for low-carb dietary needs.
