Ingredients
- 150 grams almond flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and erythritol together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, sift together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let it firm up.
Step 7
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 5mm thickness.
Step 8
Cut the dough into rectangles, approximately 5x3 cm, using a cookie cutter or knife.
Step 9
Place the cut cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Step 10
Use a fork to gently press patterns into the top of each cookie if desired.
Step 11
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 12
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
