Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and erythritol until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the almond flour, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but firm and should hold together when pressed.
Step 5
Form the dough into a ball and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Step 6
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 7
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
