Calories: 390.6kcal

Author: Amanda

Ingredients

1/4 cup almond flour
1 scoop Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
1 tsp glucomannan powder
4 oz cream cheese cold
2 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz lunch meat
4 slices cheese

Instructions

Put almond flour, keto chow, and glucomannan powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to mix. Add cream cheese and butter and blend until it creates a dough ball. This should be less than 1 minute.
Place dough onto a piece of parchment and put a piece of wax paper on top and roll out into a rectangle. You can use parchment on top but wax paper is see through. Remove top paper once dough is rolled out evenly to an 8x10 rectangle.
Add 8 oz of lunch meat over the dough, leaving a 1/2" edge of dough uncovered on the 10" side. Add cheese on top of the lunch meat.
Using the parchment paper, roll the dough long ways towards the ½” of uncovered dough. Keep using parchment to roll and pull away as you go so it doesn’t peel or crack the dough.
Slice into 16 pieces and place into silicone baking cups or silicone cupcake pan.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*This dough is great to make calzones, savory pies or even crispy biscuits.

Servings: cookies

Calories: 97.2kcal

Author: Amanda

Ingredients

1/3 cup lightly salted pistachios 50g
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated erythritol
1 egg
1 serving Pistachio Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
1/2 cup fine almond flour

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.

Recipe Creator: Amanda Balle

Servings: Cookies

Calories: 9.2kcal

Author: Amanda

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners erythritol
1 serving Vanilla Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
With an electric or stand mixer on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
Add in the confectioners sweetener and keto chow and then fold mixture with spoon or rubber spatula until it’s nice and creamy. It will limp together at first, just keep stirring. It will reduce down a lot by folding which is ok.
Add to piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool for at least 30 minutes. They will harden as they cool.

Higher Altitude Instructions:

With an electric or stand mixer with whisk attachment on high speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks and then add vanilla. Continue beating to stiff peaks.
While the mixer is still whipping on high, add in the confectioners sweetener a little bit at a time and mix thoroughly between additions. Using the same method, add keto chow a bit at a time. The mixture will reduce down some, but let it keep whipping on high until fully mixed. Make sure to continue whipping while adding sweetener and keto chow. Only stop to scrape the sides once or twice.
Add to a piping bag and pipe circles onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown and puffed.
For a crisper cookie, lightly oil a foil lined cookie sheet and pipe cookies onto the foil.
