Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne optional, adds a nice kick
- ½ cup butter cut into pieces and softened
- 4 ounces sharp Cheddar grated, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
Instructions
- Set the oven at 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper..
- Put the salt, xanthan gum, cayenne, garlic powder, almond flour, and coconut flour in the food processor's bowl. For a couple quick pulses to mix.
- Add the egg yolk after scattering the bits of butter and cheese over the dry ingredients. Pulse until everything is thoroughly incorporated and the dough starts to form a ball.
- The dough should be transferred to a piping bag with an open star tip, and then piped into 3 inch lines. They don't actually spread, so they might be pretty close together. (You could also use a cookie press to press creative shapes out of the dough.)
