INGREDIENT DIRECTIONS:
BUTTER:
- Butter makes each side crunchy and gives a rich taste. If you prefer to make it dairy-free, utilize coconut oil alternatively.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Replace almond flour with regular flour to provide structure while keeping the carb content low. We may use coconut flour instead, but use it carefully as it is more absorbent.
COTTAGE CHEESE:
- Provides the cookies’ smoothness and rich protein. Alternate Greek yogurt with cottage cheese, yet the cookies will be slightly thinner. Ensure you mix the cottage cheese so the texture remains soft.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol has no net carbs and is perfect for sugar-free sweetness because it bakes well. Allulose is also useful, but it may brown more quickly and make a softer cookie.
BAKING POWDER:
- Its function is to lift the cookies and make them airy. There’s no preferred keto alternative, yet you can utilize a gluten-free batter if you want.
