INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • For structure and a soft texture, we use finely ground almond flour. For a nut-free alternative, you can use sunflower seed flour.

SESAME SEEDS:

  • Sesame seeds have a nutty taste and a crisp texture. You can swap them out for more pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds.

PUMPKIN SEEDS:

  • Pumpkin seeds provide plant-based protein, healthy fats, and crunch. You can use chopped pecans or sunflower seeds instead.

BUTTER:

  • Butter binds the components together and adds richness. You might also use non-dairy butter or coconut oil.

ERYTHRITOL:

  • Instead of using conventional sugar to sweeten the cookies, we use powdered erythritol. As directed on the packaging, you can use keto-friendly monk fruit sweetener.

EGG:

  • The egg helps the cookies maintain their shape by binding the components together. Although the texture can change, you can use a commercial egg substitute.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Both the flavor & scent are boosted by utilizing the vanilla. Another option is to use a small amount of almond essence.

BAKING POWDER:

  • A lighter texture is produced with the aid of baking powder. If necessary, use gluten-free baking powder.

CINNAMON AND SALT:

  • Cinnamon gives warmth, and salt counteracts the sweetness. You can leave out the cinnamon.
