Our recipe for Classic Keto Italian Cookies is delicious and easy to make. The crumb is soft and tender, almost like a dense cake. You can use anise extract or lemon extract to flavor the cookies, both are classic flavors for Italian cookies.

Our High Fat Keto Decorating Icing is the perfect way to decorate the cookies and raise the ratio to a perfect 4:1 if needed. Make them extra special and pretty with low carb Colored Decorating Sugars or natural embellishments like anise seeds. Enjoy this classic treat!
