Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for frosting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar substitute until creamy and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue to mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a surface lightly dusted with almond flour to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat sugar-free powdered sweetener, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined.
Spread or pipe the frosting over the cooled cookies.
Allow frosting to set for a few minutes before serving or storing the cookies.
