    Keto and gluten free Christmas cookies

    The good thing about keto baking is the end product is almost always gluten free.  I like to use almond flour in my keto baked goods because it gives consistent results.  It is inherently gluten free which is a big win!

    I chose a peppermint mocha flavor for these Christmas cookies because that is my favorite holiday drink.  If you want a more traditional cookie for Christmas, you could try these other fan favorites:

    Servings 12
    Course Dessert, Snack
    Cuisine American

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ Cup almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon)
    • ½ Cup sugar free granulated sweetener (see my favorite on Amazon)
    • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ⅓ Cup Butter, Softened
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
    • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • ½ Cup sugar free white chocolate chips
    • crushed peppermints or candy canes for topping

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 350F (176C) and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    2. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Next add in your softened butter, vanilla, peppermint extract and egg. Mix together with a hand mixer to combine ingredients.
    3. Add your white chocolate chips and combine with a spatula. Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out onto baking sheet 2 inches apart. Should make about 12 cookies. Flatten the tops of your cookie using your clean fingers or a spoon. Top with the crushed cane canes.
    4. Place into already preheat oven and let bake for about 12 minutes. Let cool completely and serve.

    Notes

    I didn't us sugar free candy canes for this recipe because the add minimal carbs.  You could definitely use sugar free candy canes but they may be hard to find.
