Keto chocolate cookies shaped with spiderweb glaze. Soft, chewy, low-carb, sugar-free, and perfect for Halloween or any spooky treat tray.
Cookies (about 18)
2 cups (224 g) blanched almond flour
6 tbsp (30 g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
¾ cup (120 g) powdered erythritol/monk fruit blend (or ⅔ cup allulose)
½ tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
6 tbsp (85 g) butter, softened
1 large egg, room temp
1½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp almond milk or water, if needed
Glaze
¾ cup (90 g) powdered erythritol (or ⅔ cup/80 g powdered allulose)
2–3 tbsp almond milk or water
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Whisk almond flour, cocoa, powdered sweetener, xanthan, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Beat butter until smooth. Add vanilla, then beat in the egg until just combined.
Fold dry mix into wet. If dough looks dry, add 1–2 tsp almond milk.
Cover and chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets.
Scoop 1½ tbsp dough, roll into balls, place 2 inches apart, and flatten to ¼ inch.
Bake 9–11 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on tray, then fully on a rack.
Make glaze: whisk powdered sweetener, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth and pipeable.
Pipe 3 circles on each cookie, then drag a toothpick outward to form spiderwebs.
Let glaze set before storing or serving.
Chill dough so cookies hold shape.
Erythritol glaze sets firmer; allulose makes a softer finish.
Store at room temp for 3 days, fridge for 7, or freeze unglazed cookies up to 2 months.
Net carbs: about 1.5–2 g per cookie.
