Keto Copycat Lofthouse Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your favorite sugar substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Frosting:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered erythritol (or confectioners sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream (adjust for desired consistency)
- Sprinkles for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined and a dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and enough heavy cream to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of each cookie and add sprinkles if using!
- Enjoy your delicious Keto Copycat Lofthouse Cookies!
Tips for Success
- Make sure the butter is softened for easier mixing in the frosting.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week—good luck keeping them around that long!
- If you prefer thicker frosting, reduce the amount of heavy cream slightly!
