This keto cookie is so easy to mix but if you feel it's easier to mix the ingredients using a stand mixer, you can do so, especially if you are making several batches of cookies
If you do not have powdered stevia, you can use liquid stevia. Just make sure to add a little quantity at a time to make sure you get the right sweetness in your cookies.
