If you're a fan of Oreos but are trying to stick to a low-carb or keto diet, you're in luck! With this Keto Oreo Cookies recipe, you can indulge in a guilt-free treat that tastes just like the real thing. These cookies are made with almond flour, cocoa powder, and keto-friendly sweeteners, and are filled with a rich and creamy vanilla frosting. Here's how to make them:
Ingredients:
For the cookies:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until firm and slightly crisp around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Once the cookies have cooled, spoon a dollop of frosting onto the bottom of one cookie, then place another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and frosting.
Store the Keto Oreo Cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
