Keto Shortbread Cookie Recipe- Keto Girl Scout Caramel Delites
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- I've made keto shortbread before and have used it in many of my recipes. But I was always limited in recipes I could make because it was a higher carb recipe using mostly coconut flour. I learned through the years of experimenting with making keto recipe that I can use a lot less coconut flour and more whey protein in the recipes. So I got working on a lower carb shortbread that was crispy outside and soft and melt in your mouth inside.

Alycia, another home run of a recipe! You are a genius! Geri
Aww, Thanks so much!
The Girl Scout cookies have changed a lot over the years. Your memory is not faulty. Beautiful work!
Thanks for letting me know!
You truly are gifted. Thanks so much for sharing. 💜
Aww thank you! You are so welcome!
I sooo appreciate your expertise ❤ so many helpful tips! I love feeling like I just attended an actual class 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Aww thank you! That's what I am going for with my videos, like the cooking shows I loved as a kid.
*I love how simple the recipe is, and they seem like they'll satisfy my sweet tooth without derailing my progress. Can't wait to bake a batch!*
Thanks!
Your induction plate takes oodles of power. You ate using an extension cord that doesn’t allow enough current to get to the plate! Use a thicker extension cord, usually orange and watch that induction plate fly!😊
I used an orange one when I had the bakery, it still shuts off after it gets to the temperature you set it at. It never can keep something at a constant simmer.
@@KetoUpgrade I think your induction cooktop is defective. My two both great--temp is rock solid on each and they're different brands.
You make it look so easy. Now, if only I can just get motivated to make these. Thank you for an alternative to desserts. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I could not make it on keto without them. 😊 You are a lifesaver. ❤
Lol only took like 2 hours to make 24 cookies, not horrible, lol. If you make them, I hope you enjoy!!! So glad I can help!
I make samoa truffles, so this will be perfect for that!
These look yummo 😋😋😋…… Thanks Alycia for another easy tasty recipe❤️.
(You make it look so easy, hope it is when I give them a go 😅🤣)
Thanks! You're very welcome! Just go in with confidence! And remember they don't have to look perfect to taste the same! Lol.
Omg I'm with you on coconut. That texture is the worst. Thank you for this, now i can make these short bread with more protein yay!
Lol. You're welcome! Hope you enjoy!
thanks! what a beautiful recipe.
Aww thank you! You're welcome 😊
If the caramel can be made without the coconut you have TWIX bars! love your wonderful and informative videos... thank you!
I have a Twix candy on my channel! Along with turtles in the same video. But this shortbread would be better for it.
@@KetoUpgrade How did I miss it ?! 😳 🥰🤗Blessings!
@@MM-oc3sb not sure, but i think a lot of people miss a lot of my videos, been doing this a long time now, lol.
Takes me back to my GS leader days.
I had a Brownie and a Junior troop, and my living room was full of cookies, 3 springs in a row! Lol I bought up every extra box of Caramel Delites, and enjoyed every sugar laden calorie, until they registered on my scale and thighs! 😂
I’d have really loved these! Thank you for all of your hard work creating this recipe! ♥️
Nice, brought me back too to my girl scout days! My mom and I were talking about that when we were comparing carb counts when she was trying my final cookies. You're very welcome!
Hi Alycia, these cookies are looking soooooo yummy delicious, just because we don't have Girl Scout cookies here in Germany and I've never tried one while we were on vacation in the States .... but cookie, coconut, caramel and chocolate ..... what could be better than that then all together 😇😊😅😂👍👍👍👍!! Thank you sooooo much for all that you are doing for us!
☀️☀️☀️ greetings from Germany and I'm wishing you a happy sunday,
Ela 🤗
Lol they are popular for a reason I suppose! You're very welcome, hope you enjoy.
Happy Sunday to you too!
Oh my gosh those look sooooo good! I'm tempted to make them but I'm lazy and I'd probably eat the entire batch in one sitting! 😂 thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes with us!
Lol. You're welcome! 😊
Excellent instructions, wonderful details! Can't wait to try these.
Aww, thank you!! Hope you enjoy!
OH My Goodness. My favorite cookie. Thank you ❤❤❤
Yay!!! You're very Welcome!
Yum! And thanks for the carb counts For the coconut!
You are so welcome!
Those are my favorite ❤️ I want to try and make them
You can do it!!!! Lol, hope you enjoy!
Going to try to make this, this weekend. Going to have to make sure my phone is fully charged because I’ll be playing and stopping a lot to follow it as best as I can.
I'm definitely going to make these!!!! Yum. 😊
Hope you enjoy!!!
OMG! My favorite cookie ever! Can I be your mom too?
Lol!!!
They look so good wowwww!!
Thanks!
My husband's favorite but he swears he can tell the difference between wheat flour and coconut flour. I can't wait to make these for him and see if he can tell the difference. 😊
Those look so good, and yours looks way better and more appealing then the girl scout cookies. Just a guess...they probably got smaller as time went by. Just like everything else, you pay more money for less product nowadays.😢
Thanks!
Love it! They look amazing! My philosophy… Go big or go home!
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome! I tried making a shortbread with toffee on top but i used pecan flour, and it burnt a bit too much. Looking forwards to trying these!
Hope you enjoy
Omg Girl !!! Yasssss !! I'm on it !!! Thank you.. thank you!!! THANK YOU! 😊
Haha, You are so welcome!!! Hope you enjoy!!!😊
Have you done the Do-si-do? The peanut butter sandwich cookie. That’s my favorite. 😊
I haven't but I have nutter butters on my list which is similar. Do-si-dos were my second favorite. I'm sure I will get to those next.
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Oh wow! Could I make them without holes, just because I'm lazy? Lol, I know the carb count would be different, and the cookie count as well, but would they bake up okay, do you think? Thank you for all your amazing work!
Yes you can! They are just like a normal shortbread, you can make any shape you want! You're very welcome!
Alicia you would be proud of me 😊 your recipe was easier then I thought and cookies came out great. Only change I made was spreading a dollop of the coconut caramel because trying to spoon it on around the whole was tedious, otherwise everything worked out. I thought it was also surprising I could only eat one. The Girl Scout ones I could eat the whole pack. I chose to use milk chocolate instead. Don’t know if that’s what caused them to be more sweet that I could only eat one but I’m ok with one. It satisfies my sweet tooth . You are the Best ❤
Awesome! So glad they came out good. Yes using milk chocolate would definitely make it sweeter! Aww thanks!
Omgolly I love this. I have never been a huge cookie person, but I love this cookie! So excited to make!
Yay! Hope you enjoy 😉
I definitely enjoy your recipes. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤❤❤
Thank you for such hard work! I know, I used to be a chef!
ok, I made the shortbread cookies which are delicious! I forgot to refrigerate them after they went on the cookie sheet, but they still came out good!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed!!
Yum! These are my favorites too.
Golden sandwich and caramel delights are my favorite.
I wish they did the macros like the EU. Has a carbs per serving and a carbs 100g product. Would be great to find carbs in spices.
I love these
These are my favorite and your recipe is awesome. Thank you
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! You're welcome! 😊
I just found you and am excited to try some new things. This remiminds me of an oppurtunity to make carmel twix bars. yum
Welcome! I have a video for Twix bars and this shortbread recipe would work and be less carbs!
These look so yummy. They used to be my favorite GS cookies. You do such a good job. You're hired. I wish I could afford to hire you full time to bake for me :). Can I be you're grandma.
Thanks! My mom thought so, lol.
Great job. Cant wait to try.
Thanks, hope you enjoy! 😊
thank you, amazing great job, as always
Nice
Mmmmmnnnn! These look really good. I think these are my favorites and then thin mints or second. I haven’t had them in years too.
I might have an idea for a future video for you to help me with. I bought a chocolate fountain for an occasion that I was going to spend time with my grown children. That time hasn’t come yet, and the chocolate that came with it is long gone😂… is there a chocolate recipe that is more keto?
I really do like milk chocolate rather than dark and that it would work well in a chocolate fountain. Thanks~~ I really enjoy your videos and watching you on Saturdays. ❤
Thanks!
I'd have to get a chocolate fountain, lol. Basically it just says to add oil until you get a good flow. So I assume you can use keto chocolate and melt to and add coconut oil to make it a nice runny consistency.
You're welcome! Makes me happy to know you enjoy watching every Saturday.
Oh my god they look good! Allulose is not sold in Canada. It's not considered safe to eat.
Yeah but there are several people I have talked to that have gotten it in Canada. There is even a keto youtuber ketogenic women that is in Canada and she uses it all the time.
Do you have a cookbook?
I will eventually. Just takes a lot of time I don't have at the moment, being a stay at home mom with a 15 month old.
What did I do wrong my butter seeped out of the cookies and ran on the pan the cookies were Very Dry
Not sure. Was the dough completely solid after you sliced it before you baked it? Did you weigh all ingredients?
Alycia, how much egg white protein powder in lieu of Isopure?
I haven't done it but probably similar amount, maybe try less to start and add to get a consistency like my dough.
Thank you again for a great recipe Alycia ! I'm not a fan of coconut as well. Do you have any suggestion for an alternative ingredient to hold the caramel together please? Do you think things like chopped almonds can do the job please?
You're welcome. I think chopped nuts would work. Pecans are the lowest carb option.
Hi!!! How many grams are 5oz of butter? Thanks!!!
5x28 so 140 grams
Looks wonderful!! For dairy free, can butter flavor coconut oil/butter be substituted? And Beef protein powder instead of whey? I'd love to make these tomorrow if I can!! Thank you :)
Coconut oil should be fine. I've found beef protein can't be interchanged with the whey in cake at least. Egg white protein is the closest sub I can find but it may be a drier cookie.
Could you use a pastry bag to apply the Carmel coconut combo onto the cookie?
Yeah that could work. I tried a mold first and it just looked too perfect so didn't even think about piping it on.
💓❤️💓
Would this dough work in a cookie press instead of the chilling and cutting. I was thinking use the wreath die then chill for 10 minutes then bake.
Not sure, I don't have one of those. You can certainly try and if it doesn't work you can still cut and bake.
Hey sweetie I know this is off topic but is it possible to make some kind of 90 second bread with isopure and no almond flour ? I am going crazy not being able to find a recipe without almond flour …bamboo fiber did not work Ugg
I've never tried but I'm sure it's possible for something to come out. I just never think they are very good in general. I don't know the ratios for the 90 second bread but using a few tablespoons of protein and a tiny bit of coconut flour may work. You need a third of the amount of coconut for almond so even less if you are adding protein powder.
Thanks sweetie
Hi Alycia. I only made the cookies by themselves. They came out as delicious & delicate butter cookies! For the next time I make them, do you think I could add some cacao nibs to the batter? I read their texture is kinda like nuts, and since my son has a nut allergy I thought they’d be a good add-in.
So glad you enjoyed them! I can't imagine it wouldn't work. I've thought about making these as pecan sandies. If they don't melt it should be fine.
@@KetoUpgrade Thank you so much! (Looking forward to your pecan sandies recipe!)
Hi love your channel. Can I use unflavoured whey powder instead
Hi, thanks! Unflavored whey protein is what I used in this recipe.
Could I use a pastry bag to apply the caramel? Is it soft enough?
I think you could do that.
I ran out of Isopure 😭, but I do have egg white protein powder on hand. Do I use the same amount as Isopure?
I haven't had good luck swapping anything out for the whey protein in fluffy baked goods.
I can't do whey protein powder how about cream powder?
I don't think that would work because heavy cream powder is a lot of fat and way less protein then the whey protein.
@@KetoUpgrade I plan to use Bacon Fat instead of butter
@@janicewinsor4793 I'm just worried about the amount of fat in cream powder vs protein powder for this recipe.
You're probably like you're probably right. Maybe I could combine fresh egg whites with cream powder? I definitely can't afford Egg White Powder. If I decide to do this I'll only do a small amount to begin with.
By the way... how did your mother like them?
She loved them!
Will they cook up the same without the hole? I mean why bother with the hole 🤤😁
Yes lol. Because I try to make them as close to the original as possible. Didn't even occur to me to say it in the video, lol.
