Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup sweetener
- ¼ cup brown sweetener
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp espresso powder optional
Dry Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Mix-ins:
- ¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts chopped
- ⅓ cup sugar-free white chocolate chips or chopped keto white chocolate bar
Optional Topping:
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
- Extra white chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Brown the Butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling often, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk browned butter, sweeteners, egg, vanilla, and espresso powder until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir into wet mixture until fully combined.
- Fold in chopped pecans and white chocolate chunks. Cover and chill dough for 20–30 minutes for best texture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into balls (about 1.5 tbsp each), slightly flatten with your fingers or a spoon.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes to finish setting.
- While warm, press a few extra white chocolate chips on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool fully or devour warm!
