Ingredients

• 120 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 50 grams Cream cheese, cold
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 50 grams Granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the cold cubed butter and cream cheese to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and gently mix until the dough begins to come together. Form the dough into a ball.

Step 4

Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the erythritol with ground cinnamon. This will be used for coating the dough and creating the classic palmier look.

Step 7

Once the dough is firm, dust your work surface with a small amount of coconut flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x10 inches in size.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dough evenly with the cinnamon and erythritol mixture, leaving a small margin around the edges.

Step 9

Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly towards the center. Repeat from the other side so that the two rolls meet in the middle, forming a double scroll shape.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 11

Place the slices cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each palmier for expansion.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the palmiers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. The palmiers will firm up further as they cool.

Step 14

Serve at room temperature and enjoy as a low carb treat!
