Keto Orange Creamsicle Cookies: A Delicious Low-Carb Treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Then, mix in the heavy cream until the dough is smooth.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For added flavor, consider drizzling a sugar-free orange glaze over the cooled cookies.
- Alternatively, you can mix in some sugar-free chocolate chips for a chocolate-orange twist.
