Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener). Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the almond flour and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are well combined and a dough forms.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
  5. Use a fork to gently flatten each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
