In reply to Kimberly. The powdered sweetener is only added for dusting the outside of the cookies. You shouldn't need to add any additional sweetener if the powder is omitted.

I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but am looking forward to it. These sound delicious. I have a question prior to making these. Can I forego the monkfruit powder and add the additional 1 tablespoon of the other sweetener, which I intend to use Erythritol? Is there a real need for the other sweetener, meaning will it really impact texture or flavor? I personally don’t care for desserts that are too sweet anyway. Thank you!

Super easy to make, but It took a bit longer to cook than the 50-60 min, they were still wet in the center, like if they were raw so I leave it a bit longer.
I powder them with equal parts of powder milk and sugar-free substitute ( almost like if it was confectionary sugar), pretty good.
I also use the flour with skin on it and add cinnamon powder and clove powder, coconut essence, and vanilla because I had no almond and for sugar substitute, I use monk fruit powder. I am sorry I chopped the recipe but I use what I have in hand since we can't leave our houses right now. Thanks for the recipe

I wanted to make these today but I didn’t have the Almond flavoring, so I substituted with Lemon flavoring. All I can say is OMG HALLELUJAH!!!!!

In reply to Nicole. A little chopped nuts and nutmeg would definitely be good adds. Thanks for writing in.

This was super easy and pretty good but not fantastic. Nevertheless, I will definitely make again because it has a true cookie consistency, something hard to find in keto recipes. To give it more flavor I tried adding salt bc the uncooked batter seemed to need it, but I added too much, dang it.
Definitely think it would be tastier by adding chopped pecans. Maybe also nutmeg or some other spice to give it more flavor? It's so quick and easy that I'm comfortable experimenting with different options.

In reply to Sabrina. I used a small cookie scoop and got 24 but number can vary.

I could only get 24 out of this recipe. Any smaller and there'd be nothing. Tasted the dough. Can't wait to try one. They are baking as we speak.

In reply to Trisha. Not necessarily if you don't mind the skins.

Why do you have to blanch whole almonds,

In reply to Moddie. These are small cookies and I would count about 1 gram carb per cookie just to be safe.
