Pillowy soft sugar cookies with a thick layer of pink buttercream frosting, these keto copycat “Lofthouse” style cookies will remind you of the real thing…without all the carbs and sugar. Only 2g of net carbs per big, thick cookie!
The base is super simple – with just almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener (this is important to give them their melt-in-your-mouth texture!), leavening agents, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
For the frosting, there’s the option to make your own with the instructions in the recipe, or if I’m in a pinch I also love to use my pre-made keto vanilla buttercream, which you can order direct here, or on Amazon with free shipping. It comes in a jar, it’s shelf stable, and it’s perfect for frosting cookies. It also contains zero net carbs per serving! Feel free to add a little food coloring to give it that pink color as well.
This keto copycat “Lofthouse” cookies recipe can also be found in the bonus section of my best selling resource, The Keto Dessert eBook 2.0, so I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of what the recipe pages look like.
