- Butter, softened
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Xanthan Gum

- Optional: Keto-friendly sprinkles or icing ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetener until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use your favorite holiday cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
- Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Watch closely as keto cookies can brown fast.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate with keto icing or sprinkles once fully cooled.
Notes
- Do not overbake; these cookies firm up significantly as they cool.
- For best flavor penetration, chill the dough for at least an hour before cutting.
- If you skip the xanthan gum, your cookies may crumble easily.
- We tested this recipe multiple times to get the perfect snap without a gritty texture.
