LOW CARB BUTTER PECAN COOKIES

These easy low carb Butter Pecan Cookies are so good, you will fall head over heals in love. It’s the perfect keto cookie recipe to make any time of year.

When it comes to food and how good it tastes, looks can be deceiving. That’s how it goes with anything, I suppose. Some of my favorite cookies are the simplest ones, like shortbread. Traditional shortbread is just the marriage of flour, butter, and sugar. Keto shortbread is really just the marriage of almond flour, butter, and sweetener. And it’s just as good as the shortbread I remember from my childhood. It has the right combination of crispy but slightly sandy texture and delicious buttery sweetness. Really, it’s a formula that can’t be improved upon.

These keto cookies pretty much nail that same flavor and texture, with the added sweetness of toasted pecans!!
