These Caramel Pecan Cookies Taste Just Like Your Favourite Pie

Keto Caramel Pecan Cookies

Original Recipe

Cookies
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup keto-friendly sweetener [1] of choice
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and use a rubber spatula to incorporate. The mixture will seem extremely dry at this point. Slowly pour in the melted butter, mixing it in until a cookie dough consistency forms.
Use a cookie scoop to place the dough on the baking sheet, equally spaced apart.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the caramel. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and let it brown. This should take two to three minutes. It'll start to darken in color and smell nutty.
Add heavy cream to the butter and bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat to simmer for a minute. Add in sweetener and continue to stir over low heat for three to five minutes, just until it starts to thicken.
Remove the caramel from the heat and pour into a jar.
When the cookies have finished baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes. Add about a teaspoon or so of caramel on top and garnish with a pecan.
