Tips for Keto Almond Cookies:

Make sure you use a finely ground blanched almond flour rather than an almond meal for a better texture.
Try to avoid ghee/coconut oil, as butter gives the best flavor.
Use salted butter or add couple pinches of salt to the cookie dough.
Use a hand mixer to mix your butter and sweetener together. Always begin at a lower speed, then increase as it starts to incorporate.
Make sure you let your butter soften naturally instead of speeding up the process in the microwave.
If you dump in your almond flour all in at once, it won’t mix as well and you’ll end up doing it too long to get the result you want.
Let the cookies cool completely so that they can get nice and crispy.
