Why This Recipe Is So Popular
These treats are a perfect blend of warm cinnamon and sweet vanilla, making them both comforting and satisfying. They fit well into a low-carb lifestyle without sacrificing flavor. Plus, they’re quick to make and great for a guilt-free snack.
Step 1
Toast the almond flour and ground pecans in a skillet over medium heat. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally until they turn golden and smell nutty, about 3 to 6 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat, then whisk in the cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Set this mixture aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Next, add the cooled almond flour mixture along with the coconut flour, stirring everything until a dough comes together.
Step 3
Shape the dough into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to firm up. When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
Slice the chilled dough into 24 even pieces and arrange them on the baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are just lightly browned around the edges. Let them cool a bit before enjoying!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol?
Yes, you can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, but adjust the quantity to taste.
What can I do if I don’t have pecans?
You can replace pecans with other nuts like walnuts or skip them altogether, but it may slightly change the texture and flavor.

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Can I freeze these treats?

Is it necessary to toast the almond flour and pecans?
Toasting enhances the flavor and aroma, but you can skip it if short on time.
Can I make the dough without coconut flour?
Coconut flour helps absorb moisture and bind the dough; omitting it may result in a crumbly texture.
What’s the best way to slice the dough evenly?
Chill the dough well, then use a sharp knife and measure the log length to cut 24 equal slices for uniform baking.
Can I bake these at a different temperature or time?
It's best to stick to 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes to ensure even baking without burning. Adjust slightly if needed based on your oven.
