You can make gooey butter cookies with just 8 ingredients and 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sweetener with an electric mixer. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla and mix. Add in the rest of the dough ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Put the cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet and lightly press down, so they are about half an inch high. Expert Tip: The dough for these keto butter cookies does not spread so flattening them before baking is a must. Fifth Step: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they have just started to get a little golden color.
Egg yolk - just one egg yolk. Any more and your cookies will be cakey. Pure vanilla extract - to change it up add some lemon extract or almond extract instead. Blanched almond flour - almond flour has a mild flavor and a smooth texture great for low carb baking.
No-bake cookies are great for kids as there is little that can go wrong in the kitchen when you don’t use an oven. Plus, there is no risk if your children decide to eat the batter, as there is usually no raw egg in the ingredients. Typically people on a keto diet are allowed to eat roughly 15-30g of carbs per day.
