Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ube extract
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, ube extract, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly colored.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 12 equal-sized balls of dough and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each dough ball gently with your palm or the bottom of a glass to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies will be soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
