| Keto version of my favorite sugar cookie |
This version from Crisco is an oldie-but-a-goodie and happens to be my favorite simple drop-style sugar cookie version. The problem? It's 15 carbs and 8 sugar grams per 'traditional full sugar/flour' cookie. Eek! We eat primarily low carb and sugar free so eating 3 of these (because seriously, who only eats one cookie?) is something my brain can't even fathom. 45 carbs and 24 grams of sugar? That's enough carbs for 2 days; and more sugar than I typically eat in a week. But... so so perfect and good.
Original version
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla extract
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
ENTER THE LOWER CARB VERSION: Which is currently my 'go to' version of this cookie.
Keto Flour Version
1 c Crisco Shortening
Oven to 375. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat shortening and sugar on high speed 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt. Drop on prepared baking sheets and bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
1 1/3 c sweetener(s) - I mix my own with Erythritol, Allulose and Monk Fruit
2 eggs
2 t good quality vanilla extract
2 1/4 c King Arthur Keto Flour
1/4 c all purpose flour (use all Keto Flour if you wish to save about 1 carb per cookie)
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
