How to make the keto cookies

Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Soften butter to spreadable. Mix dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt). Stir in butter, egg yolk, and vanilla to form a soft dough. Fold in chopped sugar-free chocolate. Divide in two, shape into flattened cookies. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges set and tops are lightly golden. Cool 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

practical tips for best results

Tip: use a scale for precise measurements to keep macros accurate. If you don’t have parchment, lightly grease the sheet. For a crisper edge, bake closer to the edge of the sheet.

Variations to try

Optional variations: add 1–2 tsp peanut butter or almond butter for flavor; swap 1 tbsp of chocolate with chopped nuts for texture. Keep portions consistent for even baking.
