Why I Love These Almond Flour Cookies So Much

At Christmas time, I used to make these butter cookies with my sons when they were little—the kind you spritz out of a cookie gun.

Over time, the kids grew up, and my Rheumatoid Arthritis got worse, and I stopped eating flour and sugar. Bye-bye cookies— until I made this Almond Flour Cookies recipe.

These Almond Flour Cookies are one of the easiest keto cookie recipes I’ve ever made. This recipe only calls for 5 simple ingredients, all of which you probably already have in your kitchen if you’re living a low carb lifestyle.

You simply mix the ingredients together and then scoop it out into 20 deliciously low carb cookies and throw it in the oven for about 15 minutes. Quick, painless and oh so delicious.

And I know I’ve said that these cookies are low carb, but let me tell you just how low carb they really are.

Two of these delicious keto cookies have only 5 grams of carbs! Yes. a keto Christmas cookie!

Not only are these cookies surprisingly low carb, but they’re a good source of protein with 6 grams of protein per serving. With cookies this low carb, who could possibly resist?

And the taste. Oh the taste of these incredible little cookies. These Almond Flour Cookies taste just like those Christmas cookies, except they’re a lot faster to make.

They also give you two different textures. Soft and moist when warm, and a little crisper when cooled. I would enjoy them both ways of course!

Now let’s get to baking these keto cookies.
