These Keto Twix Cookies offer all the flavors and textures you crave without derailing your diet goals. Dive into layers of buttery almond flour shortbread, creamy sugar-free caramel, and rich chocolate, all crafted to perfection for your guilt-free pleasure.

Ingredients: For the Shortbread:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 4 oz sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt for the shortbread.
  3. Add softened butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Use a fork to gently flatten each ball, creating a round shortbread shape.
  6. Bake the shortbread cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. While the cookies cool, prepare the caramel filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar-free caramel sauce, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, salt, and vanilla extract.
  8. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  9. Once the shortbread cookies are cooled, spoon a dollop of caramel onto the center of each cookie.
  10. Place the cookies in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the chocolate coating.
  11. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  12. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating them entirely.
  13. Place the chocolate-coated cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  14. Return the cookies to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate coating to set, approximately 30 minutes.
  15. Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
