The Keto Lady Mammies Anise Cookies

Keto Mammies Anise Cookies

My grandmother use to make these cookies every holiday - Christmas and Easter!! They taste like sweet licorice!

Some love them some do not! It’s definitely a taste preference!

Ingredients:

- 2 cups almond flour I sift mine like 3 times!

- 1/2 cup coconut flour

- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon anise extract

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, if needed for dough consistency)a

- We always used colorful sprinkles on ours, unfortunately they contain sugar!

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream Butter and Sweetener In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the powdered erythritol and beat until light and fluffy.

4. Add Egg and Extracts Beat in the egg, anise extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

6. Shape Cookies Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.

7. Decorate Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the white nonpareils.

8. Bake Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.

9. Cool Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve and Enjoy Enjoy your keto-friendly anise cookies with a sprinkle of white nonpareils for that classic look!

I hope you like them!!
