Making a Keto Cookie

If you’re like me, you want to have your cake (cookie?) and eat it too. In this case, it means spoiling yourself with a tasty cookie without the guilt and blood sugar spike that accompanies a “regular” cookie.

This keto cookie can give you the best of both worlds – all it takes is a couple simple substitutions.

First, instead of all-purpose flour you’ll use a flax or chia seed base. You’ll gain some healthy fat and lose the carbs from the flour.

Next, I swapped sugar for erythritol, which is processed differently by the body and therefore won’t jack up your blood sugar. Win!

Back to the Grind

While you can buy flaxseed that is already ground, you shouldn’t. Flaxseed becomes rancid pretty darn quick, so it’s going to be fresher and healthier if you grind it yourself.

You can use a food processor, but you might be in for a long haul. A coffee grinder tends to tackle this task a bit more efficiently, however, if you’re going this route you should have a grinder designated solely for flaxseed purposes.

Store leftover ground flaxseed in the fridge in an airtight, opaque container.

If this keto pecan crisps recipe is just too healthy for your family and friends, you could treat them to these chocolate chunk pecan cookies.
