Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter, and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
