Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball of dough flat using the back of a fork or your fingertips to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as almond flour cookies can burn easily.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
