Ingredients
- 150 grams almond flour
- 50 grams sweetener (erythritol or similar)
- 30 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 50 grams dark chocolate (sugar-free), melted for glazing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The batter should be slightly thick.
Step 5
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form round cookie shapes.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the Amerikaner from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once cooled, drizzle or spread the melted dark chocolate over the flat side of each cookie.
Step 9
Let the chocolate set before serving or storing in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
