Keto Eggnog White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

These cookies feature a buttery almond flour shortbread base, enhanced with the warm spices of eggnog and complemented by creamy white chocolate chunks. The recipe yields about 12 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon eggnog spice blend (nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chunks (sugar-free if desired)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and eggnog spice blend, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Fold in White Chocolate: Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with your palm.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
