Servings: 12 cookies
Net carbs: ~2g per cookie

🧾 Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ⅔ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups almond flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup chopped pecans (toasted for best flavor)
• Optional: 1 tbsp heavy cream (extra softness)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter & sweetener
   Beat butter and powdered sweetener until light and fluffy.
3. Add wet ingredients
   Mix in egg and vanilla until fully combined.
4. Mix dry ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine
   Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until dough forms.
   Fold in chopped pecans.
6. Shape cookies
   Scoop dough (about 1½ tbsp each), place on baking sheet, and gently flatten.
7. Bake
   Bake 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden.
8. Cool
   Let cookies cool 10 minutes on the pan—they firm up as they cool.

🔥 Tips for Best Cookies

• Toast pecans at 350°F for 5–7 minutes for deeper flavor
• Use powdered sweetener to avoid gritty texture
• Chill dough 15 minutes if it spreads too much
