Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Butter, unsalted
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 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 dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant. Let them cool before coarsely chopping.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
