2 Ingredient Keto Sesame Cookies
These sesame cookies are thin and crispy. They are just 2 ingredients and are low carb, low sugar and keto-friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (138g) sesame seeds
- 3-4 tbsp (45-60ml) sugar-free maple flavored syrup, see note
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add sesame seeds to a small food processor or small high powered blender and pulse until they become the consistency of coarse flour. I used a personal Nutribullet to blend. It's okay if there are a few sesame seeds left unblended. You want to be careful to not overblend because this will make the dough oily. If using a blender, it will only take a few seconds to blend the seeds to a flour so you need to watch the blender carefully.
- Add sesame flour to a mixing bowl. Drizzle syrup on top. Stir with a spatula until all of the sesame flour is evenly coated in syrup. If you pinch a clump of the mixture, it should stick together. If your dough is not sticking, add a little more syrup.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the dough, pack it into the scoop to help it hold its shape, and release it onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough about 2 inches apart. Using slightly wet hands or a slightly wetted back of a metal spoon, press down on each dough ball to form a thin round disk (about 1/4 thick). Smooth and round the edges of each disk. The cookies will not change shape during baking so you want to shape them how you want the final outcome to be.
- Bake cookies for about 13-15 minutes until the cookies look set and are lightly golden on the surface. Allow cookies to fully cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to firm up and set as they cool. Once fully cooled and set, the cookies are ready to eat. Store any uneaten cookies in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature, around 3-4 days in the fridge or about 1-2 weeks in the freezer.
Notes
- Sesame note: I used raw sesame seeds.*
- I use a personal Nutribullet* to blend.
- Syrup note: I used ChocZero brand maple flavored syrup.* You can use other brands, but we recommend a thick syrup, which usually is found with monkfruit sweetened syrups. Allulose based syrups tend to be too thin and will brown the cookies too quickly.
