• Crack the egg into a large bowl and beat it with a fork or hand mixer.
  1 large egg
• Add melted (but not hot) butter and vanilla, mix for about 1 minute.
  2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
• Add all the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and spices. Mix until a thick dough forms. An electric hand mixer works best.
  3/4 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, 1/4 cup Swerve (granulated), 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger, 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves

Round Keto Cookies (Basic)

• Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each into a ball, then press down to form cookie shapes.
• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges

Gingerbread Men (Advanced)

• Sprinkle coconut flour on a silicone baking mat. Make sure it’s oven-safe like this one.
• Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. A rolling pin with thickness rings like this one makes it super easy.
• Cut shapes using a gingerbread cookie cutter like this simple set. Don’t move the cookies. Instead, peel away the extra dough around them.
• Leave the shapes right on the silicone mat and move the whole mat onto a baking sheet or straight in the oven. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8-10 minutes until just golden. Let cool completely before decorating

How to Make the Icing

• Place the sweetener in a bowl and add water, just a few drops at a time and mix until the texture is thick but pipeable.
  2 tablespoons Swerve (powdered), 1/4 teaspoon water

Optional

• Decorate with crushed freeze-dried berries for a pop of color and a crunch that hides any piping mishaps.
  1 tablespoon freeze dried berries
