Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or any other keto-friendly sweetener of your choice)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, usually around 1/4 inch.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
