Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 3 tablespoons Monk fruit sweetener
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and monk fruit sweetener. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a spoon to scoop the dough and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Press them flat with your fingers or the bottom of a glass to create thin discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the almond thins in an airtight container for up to one week.
