Ingredients

Cookies

Glaze

Optional

  • keto-friendly sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease two cookie sheets with a bit of butter or coconut oil and set aside.
  • Combine the butter and monk fruit in a large bowl and using a mixer, beat until light, smooth, and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until just combined. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into walnut size portions, roll into balls and then place 2-inches apart on the baking sheets. Press down slightly to flatten them a bit. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until just golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • While cookies bake and cool, prepare the glaze. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Dip cooled cookies into the glaze. Optionally, sprinkle with sugar-free sprinkles and let dry.

Notes

You can also shape these in a more traditional style by rolling the dough ball into a 5-6 inch rope. Then twist the rope into an infinity shape and transfer to the baking sheet.
