🧈 Carnivore Butter Cookies (Just 4 Ingredients!)

Description

These Carnivore Butter Cookies are rich, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—made with only four simple, animal-based ingredients. Perfect for anyone following a carnivore or ultra low-carb lifestyle, these cookies deliver buttery sweetness without flour, sugar, or plants. They’re quick to make, oven-baked to golden perfection, and ideal for a guilt-free treat any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit (optional, for sweetness)

  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the Dough
    In a bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the egg yolk and sweetener (if using) and mix well. Fold in the grated Parmesan until a soft dough forms.

  3. Shape the Cookies
    Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten with a fork or the bottom of a glass.

  4. Bake
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.

  5. Cool & Set
    Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy warm with a cup of black coffee or hot bone broth

  • Add a small pat of butter on top for extra richness

  • Serve as a low-carb dessert or mid-day snack

Variations

  • Vanilla Butter Cookies: Add a few drops of vanilla extract (if allowed in your plan)

  • Savory Version: Skip the sweetener and add a pinch of salt for a cheesy biscuit-style cookie

  • Extra Crisp: Bake 2–3 minutes longer for a crunchier texture
