- 1 cup (227 g) butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cup (237.5 g) erythritol-based sweetener
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups (448 g) almond flour
- 1/4 cup (30 g) coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Keto candy pieces, chocolate chips, or nuts (for decoration)
- 3 ounces (85.05 g) sugar-free dark chocolate (optional for chocolate dip)
- 1/2 ounce (14.17 g) cocoa butter (optional for chocolate dip) or 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional for chocolate dip)
Step-by-Step Keto Spritz Cookies Recipe
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s bake some cookies! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line several large baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the erythritol-based sweetener until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
- Mix in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until the dough comes together.
- Fill the canister of a cookie press with the prepared dough, and fit it with your chosen plate. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to press out the cookies.
- Press the cookies out onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to keep the parchment paper secure against the cookie to help release it later.
- Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, switching the pan positions halfway through. They should be set but not overly browned at the edges.
- As soon as you remove them from the oven, gently press any decorations into the center of the cookies. Let them cool completely on the pans.
- If you choose to make the chocolate dip, place a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Add the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and cocoa butter (or coconut oil), stirring until melted and smooth.
- Dip each cookie face up into the melted chocolate so only the bottom is coated. Remove them with a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip off before placing them on a waxed paper-lined tray to set.

Helpful Tricks for Keto Spritz Cookies
Here are a few tips to make your baking experience even better:
- Chilling the dough: If you find your dough is too soft to work with, consider chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to press and shape.
- Experiment with flavors: Feel free to get creative! Add a pinch of almond extract or lemon zest to give these cookies a unique twist.
- Storing leftovers: Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate to extend their freshness!
