Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Salted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unshelled pistachios, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each scoop to about half an inch thick using the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
