PECANS:

FLOUR OF ALMOND:
- This flour would pair well with these cookies. It is not as dry as coconut flour.
CREAM:
- We are using whipped cream here. If you wish to avoid dairy, another option is coconut cream.
SWEETENER:
- Use erythritol-based powdered sweetener for cookies to make them crisp.
- Using allulose & replacement brown sugar for the filling gives them the required taste, color & that soft juicy/creamy texture.
EGG YOLK:
- The yolk of the egg will give you an increase in the protein content. It also helps you in raising your baked goods. Make sure that the yolk should be at normal surrounding temperature.
BUTTER:
- Always use softened butter for cookies. The butter should not be melted but softened only before beating.

- In a separate normal-sized vessel, mix salt, flour of almond, & baking powder.
- Shift the mix of all dry items to that big vessel & combine till the dough forms.
- Make twelve portions (same-size) of that dough having a diameter of 2 inches.
- On the cookie sheet(prepared), arrange the balls five inches apart.
- Press each ball to about half an inch using your palms.
- Next, you can make a well for filling in the middle of each cookie using any instrument.

- Wait till the cookies rise and start to become golden brown from the edges.
- Right at this moment, get the tray out of the oven.
- Reform the wells right away as cookies are still soft.
