These easy keto sugar cookies are cut-out sugar-free cookies made of a thin, low-carb rolled cookie dough. They are very sweet, soft, chewy with a slightly crunchy border. Bonus, these keto cookies with no sugar contain only 1 gram of net carbs each!

Ingredients:

Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup swerve or lakanto 
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing (Christmas Variation):

  • 1/4 cup powdered swerve or lakanto 
  • water as needed

Chocolate (Halloween Variation):

  • 1/2 cup low carb chocolate melted
  • almonds sliced

Instructions:

  • Place erythritol (1/2 cup), almond flour (1 1/2 cups), baking powder (1/2 teaspoon) and salt (1/4 teaspoon) in a large bowl and whisk together to combine.
  • Add melted butter (5 tablespoons), large egg (1) and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) to the bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer, thoroughly combine.
  • Lay a piece or plastic wrap on your countertop.
  • Place the dough in a ball in the center of the plastic wrap, then press on the top of your dough to form a disk.
  • Place in the fridge for 6 hours - overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper
  • Roll the dough using a rolling pin between two sheets of parchment paper until the dough becomes 1/4” thick.
  • Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes. Form excess dough into a disk and place in the fridge for 20 minutes before rolling/cutting again (this will make it easier to use).
  • Gently place cookies on a cookie sheet (I do this using an super thin spatula) and bake in the center rack of the oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden.
  • Allow to cool, the cookies will continue to harden as they cool.

For Icing:

  • Place powdered erythritol (1/4 cup) in a small bowl.
  • Add water using ¼ teaspoon increments until it’s created a paste.
  • Place into a resealable bag and cut a small hole in the tip.
  • Decorate your cooled cookies and enjoy!
