Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams almond flour
- 15 grams coconut flour
- 50 grams granulated erythritol
- 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 120 grams sugar-free dulce de leche
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter (about 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter), cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
To assemble the alfajores, spread a generous amount of sugar-free dulce de leche on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie, flat sides together.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and dulce de leche. Serve and enjoy your keto-friendly alfajores!
