I have made these twice now and they are so good and easy to make. Second time I double the recipe because the first time my husband and I are all of them within 24 hours. Thank you for this recipe for I am eating less carbs and this helps even though it has butter and sugar.

Since I had all the ingredients and I have a sugar craving for my LCHF diet, I made them last night. I used almond extract in place of vanilla, and powdered erythritol. In oven for 1 minute too long, they still turned out great and tasted great, just a "little" crunchy. Next time, I will be more attentive and they will be perfect. But still perfect they way they tasted, cause I had a hard time of resisting eating more than one late last night. Very addictive.

I just made these with monk fruit sweetener and used 3/4 the amount and boy was it delicious. My 3 yr old said "you made a good cookie mom, these are so good!"

They're in the oven right now!! I tasted the dough, sooo yummy. I added a few tsps of water to make it form better and some cinnamon. Definitely my new fave, and probably a staple in my low carb high fat diet!!

Made a double batch of these but only wound up with 16 cookies. Maybe mine are too big. Overall a great recipe that is easy to follow and comes out great. I added some lemon zest and some toasted sliced almonds for texture. And they are delicious

Think I could use this as the crust for a keto lemon bar?

Hi Delma! Yes, I think that could work. Another option is to use almond flour, melted butter, and a bit of erythritol for the crust -- I do this all the time for cake and pie crusts and it works great. For proportions, see the recipe at https://www.savorytooth.com/instant-pot-cheesecake/ which makes enough crust for a 6 inch diameter round pan, or see https://www.savorytooth.com/pumpkin-cheesecake-bars/ for a 9x13 inch pan.

I made these cookies and they turned out delicious. Taste like shortbread cookies except I used Splenda.

Can I take out the sugar alcohols? Will it affect the texture?

Hi Carol! I haven't made these without the sugar alcohol erythritol. I would recommend using some kind of sweetener. There's a previous comment by another reader (Kharen) who said she substituted "3 drops liquid caramel stevia for the erythritol + 1 tsp unsweetened sunbutter, and I also added an additional 1/4 cup almond flour" and said that it turned out well.

This is a simple recipe which makes a very nice buttery cookie, and low carb as well. How nice to be able to enjoy a sweet treat and still keep to my keto diet. Thank you!

With a little tweaking, it tasted like a snickerdoodle... enjoyed by all, even a few who aren't "interested" in low carb treats. Definitely repeating!

Can you use Pyure? If so--the same amount (1/4 c)?

Hi Pam! Pyure sells a variety of sweeteners (erythritol, stevia, etc.); which one are you referring to? If you have their erythritol sweetener, you'll need to powder it first because they're sold as granulated. You can use a nutribullet or other small personal blender. Then measure out 1/4 cup of powdered erythritol.

Hi Julia!
These are absolutely wonderful, I replaced butter with ghee and added caramel syrup from choc zero which gave me caramel almond goodness :)

I tried this recipe and love the cookies. I am not on a keto diet; however I try to stay gluten free. These cookies are great and satisfy my craving for something sweet.
