  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp. almond extract
  • ⅓ cup Erythritol powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. pistachios

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Add the almond flour to provide a soft texture & a tender cookie crumb. We have to utilize the almond flour instead of regular wheat flour so the cookies remain low in carbohydrates.

PISTACHIOS:

  • Add the pistachios to include the nutty flavor & light crunch in the cookies. We have to utilize the unsalted and shelled pistachios to balance the flavor.

UNSALTED BUTTER:

  • Add the soft butter to include the indulgent taste, and it also helps to combine the components. It should be at a neutral temperature so it mixes smoothly with the sweetener.

POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:

  • Add the Erythritol powder to provide sweetness, and it keeps it keto-friendly. We have to utilize the powdered version so it blends properly with other items.

EGG:

  • Include one big egg to combine the almond flour & other items. Utilize neutral-temperature eggs so they mix easily with other items. It helps the cookies to hold the shape in baking.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Add the vanilla extract to increase the nutty flavors, & have to add a small quantity to provide a pleasant aroma without adding an intense pistachio taste.

ALMOND EXTRACT:

  • Include the almond extract to add a strong nutty taste in cookies. We have to alter the amount with care because its flavor is strong & can easily suppress the pistachios.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Include the baking powder to raise the cookies & prevent them from becoming too dense. We have to measure it with care so the cookies maintain the desired texture.

SALT:

  • Add the salt to balance the sweet taste & enhance the taste of pistachios. We have to use a small quantity so it will not make the cookies salty.

FAQs:

Are these cookies perfect for a keto diet?

  • Yes, we make them with keto sweetener and almond flour, which makes them keto-friendly, though pistachios contain slight carbs, so we have to consume them in limited quantities.

Will I add a different keto sweetener?

  • Yes, add the monk fruit powder or any other suitable keto sweetener powder instead.

Could we add the regular flour instead?

  • We can’t utilize regular flour to make these cookies as it will increase the carbs count. But we would also utilize other keto flours like coconut to make these cookies.
