Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk, vanilla, and maple extract.
Stir in almond flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press centers to create small wells.
Fill each well with a generous pinch of toasted pecans. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet until firm. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Chilling dough for 30 minutes helps cookies hold their shape.
Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or sweetener for a decorative finish.
Drizzle with keto chocolate for a festive twist.
