Recipe By So Nourished

In order to make cookies for keto use almond flour and xanthan gum for the cookie dough rather than regular, high carb white flour.

Keto Maple Sandwich Cookies

Almond flour is one of the top keto flours out there and xanthan gum helps bind the almond flour together, preventing the dough from being too crumbly. If you want to start baking more keto goodies, definitely invest in some xanthan gum. It will make your keto desserts have a much better texture.
