4. Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup sugar substitute, ¼ cup softened butter, ¼ cup cream soda, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool completely before adding the honeycomb topping.

Preparing the Honeycomb Topping

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup sugar substitute, 2 tbsp water, and 1 tbsp light corn syrup (if using). Stir gently until the mixture dissolves and begins to bubble. Stop stirring and let it cook undisturbed until it reaches a deep amber color, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in 1 tsp baking soda—the mixture will foam and expand. Immediately drizzle the honeycomb mixture over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Work quickly, as the honeycomb will harden as it cools.
