Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.33 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Powdered erythritol (or preferred granulated sugar substitute)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed to form a soft and cohesive dough.
If the dough seems too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it comes together but is not sticky.
Divide the dough in half, and roll one portion between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness for thin wafers.
Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut the dough into your desired wafer shapes (e.g., rectangles or circles), and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second half of the dough.
Bake the wafers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are firm. Be careful not to overbake as they can burn quickly due to their thinness.
Remove the wafers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up as they cool.
Store the chocolate wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
