Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol sweetener together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two portions. Place one portion between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the second portion.
Using cookie cutters, cut the dough into desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
