If I made 24 cookies as written, would 1 cookie be a serving? Assume I don’t have a scale.
Yes.
I’ve FINALLY found the keto cookie recipe that gives me crunchy cookies!!! I used Lemon Meringue KC instead of Banana. I did not have a lemon, so no lemon zest. Bake until the edges have browned, just like the recipe says. Let the cookies sit in the cookie sheet until they have firmed up, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. The outside edge will be crispy crunchy while the middle will be soft. They had a wonderful lemon flavor and a great texture!
So this will be my second review of this recipe, except this time I used snickerdoodle KC, a splash of vanilla, and some semi-sweet chocolate chips. Oh. My. Lanta!!! They are delicious!!! THIS is THE keto recipe for cookies!!! Try different KC flavors – this recipe is versatile!
I made recipe as written. They are so delicious!!!! I plan on making these again with lemon meringue then I may try banana with banana extract. Then key lime, then orange, then apple pie, then……the possibilities are almost endless. Thank you Keto Chow!! Love you guys!!
