Almond Butter Cookies – Chocolate Kiss Cookies
If Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies were your favorite before going keto, you’re going to love our easy to make Almond Butter “Kisses”!
They’re rich and nutty flavored with a hint of vanilla aroma, and we use a stevia-sweetened chunk of dark chocolate in the center to simulate a chocolate kiss.
These are a non-keto Christmas past time of mine and I’m so thankful for Faith that she mastered these! I honestly think these may be better than the originals.
I can remember as a little girl making peanut butter blossoms with my grandma. It was one of our traditions. We would make Christmas cookies for her and my grandpa, my cousins and the neighborhood kids.
She continued to make these for me up until 2 years ago when I started a keto diet. Since my grandma has started to reduce her carbohydrate intake too, this keto almond butter cookies recipe is something that we can enjoy together!

These taste very good but mine came out extremely crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly I’m not sure if an extra egg or some other ingredient would help.
Hi Dre, We’re so happy you enjoyed the flavor of these! We are happy to help you troubleshoot. Did you make any changes to the recipe?
Ours were a bit crumbly too (please see photos), but that’s pretty normal for a cookie.
When I am trying to stay around 20g carbs per day, how is 13.4g carbs for a single cookie keto friendly?
You need to subtract the sugar alcohols to get the net carbs 🙂
