The Keto Flour Base
The key to creating keto-friendly cookies is to use low-carb flour as a substitute for traditional wheat flour. For this recipe, we'll use a combination of almond flour and coconut flour, which provides a perfect texture and flavor while keeping the carb count low.
Ingredients
For your keto birthday cake cookies, you will need the following:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sugar-free sprinkles
- 1/3 cup sugar-free white chocolate chips
Prepare the Cookie Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated erythritol until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well until a smooth cookie dough forms.
Gently fold in the sugar-free sprinkles and sugar-free white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to spread during baking. Lightly flatten each ball of dough to achieve your desired cookie thickness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 12-15 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overbaking, as almond flour cookies can brown quickly.
Cool and Serve
Once the cookies have finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, they will firm up and achieve the perfect keto cookie texture.
The Bottom Line
These keto birthday cake cookies are a delightful way to celebrate without derailing your ketogenic diet. The almond and coconut flour base keeps the carb content low, while the sugar-free sprinkles and white chocolate chips add a burst of color and sweetness. Enjoy them with a cup of unsweetened almond milk or your favorite keto-friendly beverage.
These guilt-free treats are a fantastic addition to any birthday celebration or special cookie delivery, and they'll leave your taste buds satisfied without compromising your health goals. So, go ahead and surprise your loved ones with these delightful keto cookies, and make every birthday celebration a truly enjoyable and keto-friendly affair!
