We easily prepare these cookies in only twenty-seven minutes. They have a crispy outside and chewy inside with a balanced flavor of cloves and cinnamon in all bites. Keto Ginger Snap Cookies are perfect for weekdays, family gatherings, breakfasts, snacks, short events, lunches, and parties.

INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 cup erythritol powder
- 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of butter
- Cloves, ¼ tsp.
- 1½ cups of almond flour

INGREDIENT NOTES:
BUTTER:
- This ingredient provides a soft and firm texture without increasing carb count. To make a non-free version, substitute it with the vegan butter or coconut oil.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This is low in carbs and has a mildly nutty taste. Replace it with finely ground macadamia or hazelnut flour, which is also ideal for maintaining a keto diet.
MOLASSES:
- The color and flavor are similar to ordinary ginger snaps. We can use a normal amount of natural molasses or unsweetened molasses that does not include carbs.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder provides a subtle browning and mild, sweet flavor to the cookies. As a low-carb alternative, I use monk fruit sweetener powder or stevia.
