Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel or liquid)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup sugar-free cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (for frosting)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the erythritol, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a thin layer of cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the frosting.
- To customize, you can add sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the cookie dough before baking.
