Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and erythritol until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the almond flour, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but firm and should hold together when pressed.
Form the dough into a ball and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
