Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 70 grams Sweetener (erythritol or similar sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of dough and form it into a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Optionally, sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie, pressing them gently into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
