    Make mini cookies

    Pinching off a small amount of cookie dough, roll dough into a ball about the size of a marble. Place ball on a parchment lined baking tray and press down flat to form a cookie shape. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing around a ¼ inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking tray for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before handling and pouring milk over your keto cereal.

The most important tip is to bake it for the right time. Many people end up baking these cookies for longer, and they turn out hard. Once you have rolled the dough, bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about seven minutes. You can also check the cookies after about five minutes to see if they are slightly soft. If you want them to be a little more crispy and harder, let them sit for a few minutes. Another hang-up is they try to pick up the cookies before they have cooled completely. You must let them cool completely before handling or else they can crumble.

A quick tip to get the perfect crisp is to slightly flatten the cookie dough ball before you bake it. This trick helps to make the cookies crispier, but it does take an extra two minutes while baking. You can also try baking the cookies in a round ball and see which version you like better.

You can also play around with the cookie shapes. Try experimenting with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and nuts as well. The options are unlimited, and you can easily play around with the mini keto cookie recipe. However, do make sure that you don’t skip out on the basic ingredients we have outlined in this recipe.

Another essential tip that you should remember is to add the milk just before you start eating. Otherwise, the cookies can get too soft and soggy.

And we left the best tip for the end: bake an extra batch of cookies and enjoy it as a dessert after dinner. You can even add a scoop of low-carb ice cream with the cookies to make them even more delicious!

You can even put some extra cookies in a jar and enjoy them as a snack during the day. Yum!

Storage

You can easily store this keto cereal in an airtight container. Do make sure that the cereal is completely cool before you store it. Otherwise, it will leave moisture in the bag. If you want, you can also use a plastic bag instead of a Tupperware container. Store the cookie cereal at room temperature. Do make sure that you hide it well or the kids are going to eat them all up!
