Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the butter and sugar-free brown sugar to a stand mixer (or mixing bowl if using an electric hand mixer) and beat on medium-high speed until combined and fluffy.
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl, then add one egg. Beat until combined, then add the other egg.
  • Again, scrape the sides of the mixer with a rubber spatula.
  • Stir together the remaining (dry) ingredients in a bowl and pour it into the mixer. Beat on medium-high until the dough is very well combined, thick, and sticky.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour before baking, or until the dough has set up.
  • When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 8 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies - for regular sized cookies, go with 8 to 11, and for larger cookies, bake for 11 to 13. I use a mini ice cream scooper to scoop the dough, which gives it the rounded look, or I form the dough into round discs. You can also shape the cookies according to your preference.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the tray. If you touch the cookies before they are completely cool, they may crumble.

Notes

*To make these cookies dairy-free, using softened (not melted) coconut oil or vegan butter spread.
**If you aren't keto, you can replace the sugar-free brown sugar with regular brown sugar. You can also use any regular granulated sugar-free sweetener.
