My biggest weakness, at this time of year, are sugar cookies. I love sugar cookies, especially frosted sugar cookies. Being Keto, typically things like sugar cookies are a no no. However, since using almond flour for all of my cooking and baking, I have found that (for most things) I can replace almond flour for my gluten free flour. These Keto sugar cookies are the best Keto desserts I have ever had.

The Best Keto Sugar Cookies Recipe
Recipe for the best low carb Keto sugar cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Butter softened
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 tsp Liquid Stevia
- 1/8 tsp Almond Extract*
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Lakanto Monkfruit
- 2 Cups Almond Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- pinch Salt
Frosting
- 3 tsp Heavy Whipping Cream
- 5 TBSP Powdered Lakanto Monkfruit**
Instructions
-
Using your stand mixer, place the softened butter, eggs, liquid Stevia, almond extract*, and vanilla extract in the mixing bowl and mix until the butter is completely whipped.
-
Add your Lakanto Monkfruit, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in the bowl and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
-
Take a piece of plastic wrap and place the cookie dough on the plastic wrap. Roll into a ball and wrap tightly. Place in the fridge for at least one hour. I personally like to chill the dough for a little longer, but an hour works just fine! Just chill the dough. Trust me!
-
Preheat your oven to 350°. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out your cookies. Roll them into a ball and slightly flatten (just a little).
-
Bake for 14 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
-
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge.
Frosting
-
Place your powdered monkfruit in a small bowl and add the heavy whipping cream. Mix well. If you want to make it a color other than white, I recommend you use gel coloring.
Recipe Notes
*Experiment with extracts! The almond extract takes great, but I bet lemon would be amazing too!
**If you can't find powdered Monkfruit, make your own. Place the amount you need in your blender (I use my Vitamix) and blend until it becomes a powder!

How Good Are They?
You guys, these are the best! A few years ago, I made a very similar sugar cookie recipe, but with gluten free flour. I was hesitant on whether this would work out, but it did! And the best part…they taste better and better the longer they sit in the fridge! I don’t know how that is possible, but it is!

Make these!! You will enjoy them! Literally the best. We ate all of the cookies I made the other day, but I will be making more. I think I am going to make a batch with lemon extract. I really think these would be good with lemon extract.
