Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granular erythritol
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granular erythritol (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granular erythritol until light and fluffy.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and additional tablespoon of granular erythritol.
Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon-erythritol mixture.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
