Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak pistachios in water for 20 minutes.
  • Combine butter, sweetener and egg with mixer on low speed. Add keto chow and almond flour and mix until well combined.
  • Blot dry pistachios with a paper towel and add into batter. Mix thoroughly.
  • Scoop onto plastic wrap and form into a cylinder with your hands and the wrap. Finish wrapping and refrigerate for at least two hours or even overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove plastic wrap and slice into 16 by cutting in half and those halves in half again until you have 16 slices. Place sliced cookies onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • You can leave as is or if you want to get fancy you can dip the ends in chocolate and add crushed pistachios or coarse sea salt.*

Notes

*For some festive Halloween fun, turn these cookies into little Frankensteins! Once the cookies are cooled, melt dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between so it doesn't seize. Place in a piping bag and decorate with hair, facial features, and stitches as desired. White chocolate may be used with the same melting method to add other details.
