Weight loss diets can be quite typical and you might not be allowed to eat anything sweet. However, on a keto diet, you can enjoy sweet things made with healthy natural sweeteners and nut flours.
Spend a rainy afternoon baking at home with your kids. Bake cookies with natural monk fruit sweetener instead of organic cane sugar. This is a great keto sweetener to use in tea, coffee, or baking. Here are some delicious keto cookie recipes to bake this month:
Raspberry Coconut Cookies
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk in coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, Lakanto Monk Fruit sugar, eggs, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients in batches with the wet ingredients. Gently fold dried raspberries into the cookie dough mixture. Cover the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. You can set it out at room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Take a cookie scoop and roll it into small balls using your palms. Place the cookies in a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 150 for 11 minutes until lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes. Use Lakanto monk fruit sweetener instead of organic cane sugar to make it keto friendly.
Lemon Thyme Shortbread Cookies
In a food processor, add almond flour, Lakanto monk fruit classic sweetener, vanilla essence, one stick of cold butter cut into small cubes, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, and blitz 2-3 times at 20-second intervals until it resembles coarse sand. Use your hands to form a log and cover it with a cling wrap. Set aside the cookie dough in the refrigerator overnight until it’s firm. When you want to bake, take the dough out. Take a very sharp knife and cut it into 1/4 inch thick circles. Bake the shortbread cookies in a preheated oven at 150 C for 10 minutes until the edges are beige. Set the cookies to cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack. Use Lakanto keto sweetener for this cookie recipe.
Almond Cookies
In a medium mixing bowl, add almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt, and mix well. In another bowl, whisk egg whites into a fluffy meringue while adding Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener slowly. Add 1/2tsp cream of tartar to the meringue. After this, add the vanilla extract and gently fold in the dry ingredients. Add flaked almonds and gently mix the dough. Set the dough aside to chill for a few hours in the refrigerator. Roll out the cookie dough into a thin sheet with a rolling pin. Use a round cookie cutter and cut the cookies. Bake the cookies at 150 C for 11 minutes. Set the cookies to cool on a cooling rack before putting it in an airtight cookie jar.
You can enjoy these cookies even during your keto diet. Enjoy the cookies on a rainy evening with a cup of ginger tea.
