Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg using a fork or whisk. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the beaten egg and mix until fully blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to stir the mixture until it forms a dough.
Step 5
Fold in the sliced almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon, scoop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Step 7
With the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each mound into a thin disk.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the almond thins are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the almond thins cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve once completely cooled or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
