I made these lovely indulgent cookies from the @scottyseveryday keto cake and cupcake mix. I must say this is the most awesome mix that I have tried so far. It has everything which any dessert lover can ask for 🍪 It's keto-friendly and sugar-free with zero carbs. 🍪 This sugar-free mix gets the right amount of sweetness from using the premium natural monk fruit extract. 🍪 it is free from gluten flours, nut flours & GMOs - which makes it perfect to share at any events like bake sales, parties, and more. 🍪 it's easy to use and makes perfectly textured cake and cupcakes in no time. @scottyseveryday have many other keto-friendly mixes which you can check on their Amazon storefront and start relishing the bakes without counting any more calories.

- Remove cookies to cooling rack to cool completely
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container or freeze
