Gather and Prepare Your Ingredients
Before you start, gather all your ingredients. Ensure your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming. Accurately measure your blanched almond flour, low-calorie natural sweetener, sugar-free vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Precise measurements are crucial for successful keto baking.

Cream Butter and Sweetener
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and low-calorie natural sweetener until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process incorporates air, contributing to a tender, airy cookie texture. Cream for about 1-2 minutes at medium speed.

Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the large egg and sugar-free vanilla extract until well combined with the butter mixture. The egg acts as a binder, and the vanilla provides depth of flavor. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour and ground cinnamon. Whisking ensures the cinnamon is evenly distributed for consistent flavor throughout the cookies.

Incorporate Dry into Wet
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture (almond flour and cinnamon) to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed just until the dry ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies. Stop mixing as soon as no dry streaks remain.

Add Optional Mix-ins
If desired, gently fold in any optional additions like sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or unsweetened shredded coconut using a spatula. This ensures even distribution without overworking the dough.

Chill the Dough
Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the butter solidify, preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking and resulting in thicker, chewier cookies.

Shape and Bake Your Keto Almond Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. For flatter cookies, gently press down on each dough ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to firm up. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures air circulation and perfectly set cookies.
