Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your hand to your desired thickness, as they will not spread much while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
