These keto Flourless Mint Cookies are super decadent with their soft fudge like center. Just a few ingredients and only 10 minutes in the oven these low carb cookies are easy to make and everyone will love them.

We’ve added peppermint extract for the holidays but you can totally leave it out for a more traditional fudge cookie as well. I especially love the crispy edges paired with the fudge center, it’s reminiscent of a brownie!

Tips & Sunstitutions

Please note that this recipe is very sweet. If you don't like too much sweetener, you can't simply omit it from this recipe. Instead, use almond flour as a replacement. Use only 50% or even 25% of the sweetener and replace it with an equivalent amount of almond flour. This will result in a crispier texture (instead of the chewy texture you'll get with 2 cups of sweetener).
