🧈 4-Ingredient Butter Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) powdered erythritol (or another keto sweetener)
- 2 cups (200g) almond flour (fine or super-fine)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
(Optional: a pinch of salt if your butter is unsalted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix the butter and sweetener: In a bowl, cream together softened butter and erythritol until fluffy.
- Add vanilla and almond flour: Stir in vanilla, then add almond flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Pipe or shape: Transfer dough into a piping bag with a star tip (like in your photo) or roll into small balls and flatten slightly.
- Bake: for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden.
- Cool completely: Let them cool on the tray before transferring — they firm up as they cool.
