Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crushed pistachios

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Fold in the crushed pistachios and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take about a tablespoonful of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet and press it down gently to flatten.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
