Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Coconut flour
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 70 grams Erythritol
- 80 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 50 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix well to break up any lumps.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.
Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 8 mounds.
Gently smooth out the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon to form small discs, ensuring they are evenly shaped.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Allow the Amerikaner to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth.
Dip the flat side of each Amerikaner into the melted chocolate and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Once the chocolate has set, your Keto Amerikaner is ready to be enjoyed!
