Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or other sugar substitute
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg until well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky.
Step 5
Fold in the erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute) and sliced almonds, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your hand, as they won't spread much during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your sugar-free almond cookies with a warm beverage or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
