Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. The dough should be soft, but not sticky.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and gently roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern, or flatten with your fingers for a smoother look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to over-bake as the cookies can become too dry.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
