Almond Cookies With Almond Flour FAQs
Are almond flour cookies keto?
Almond flour cookies are not always keto, depending on what else is in them. Some almond flour cookie recipes use regular sugar, or even maple syrup, to sweeten, which would not be keto friendly.
Fortunately, these cookies are keto! Each cookie has just 1.2 grams net carbs.
(By the way, if you do want to use a different gluten-free almond flour cookie recipe that calls for maple syrup, you can easily swap in Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup to make it keto.)
What kind of flour should I use?
We recommend using a super-fine almond flour for the best texture.
What kind of sweetener can I use?
These keto almond butter cookies work best with a blend of Besti brown sweetener and Besti monk fruit allulose blend, which will give them the best soft and chewy texture, as well as brown sugar flavor.
You could also use a crystallized allulose or crystallized erythritol. If you want to use something else, check the keto sweetener guide for more sweetener options and conversions.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, you’ll need to swap out the butter for your favorite dairy-free butter alternative. Coconut oil works as well.
Storage Instructions
How to store keto almond flour cookies:
Store these cookies in an airtight container in the pantry for 3-4 days, or 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze Italian almond flour cookies?
Yes, you can also freeze these cookies for 3-4 months. Freeze in a single layer on parchment paper, then transfer to a freezer bag.

It does work with Monk Fruit/Erythriol. They came out crunchy and looking like yours. Thanks!!
Kelsi Young
These were delicious!! I didn’t have almond extract so I substituted maple extract and put a pecan on each in place of the sliced almonds. Soft, chewy. Amazing!

These remind me of the almond cookies of my Italian childhood we’d have at every holiday. Love the keto spin you’ve put on them! A healthier way to enjoy them now without all that sugar of the classic recipe!
wilhelmina
I loved these cookies! They are so delicate and crisp and I am a sucker for the toasty almond flavor! YUMMY!
Corinne Johnson
I made the almond cookies last evening and they spread out into pancake like cookies and had the texture of cake. I followed the directions as they were written. I’m wondering what I did wrong. Any tips would be appreciated.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Corinne, Sorry to hear they were not what you expected. It’s hard to tell from your message what the issue was. It’s normal for them to spread and to have a soft texture, but they should not be like cake.
