Servings: 15 Large or 20 Small Cookies
Calories: 124kcal
Ingredients
- 1 stick 8 Tbsp, 115 grams unsalted butter, slightly softened but still chilled*
- ½ cup sugar-free brown sugar**
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 2 ½ cups finely ground almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugar-free brown sugar to a stand mixer and beat until fluffy (note: this can also be performed using a mixing bowl and an eclectic hand mixer).
- Scrape the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula and add the egg and vanilla and almond extracts. Beat until well-incorporated.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl again and add the almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Beat until a thick dough forms and everything is well combined.
- Form the dough into round disc shapes and if desired, roll them in sugar-free granulated sweetener (this is completely optional).
- Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden-brown. For extra chewy cookies, pull them out at 7 minutes.
Notes
*Use softened coconut oil or vegan butter spread to make these cookies dairy-free
**If you don’t have sugar-free brown sugar, you can use regular sugar-free granulated sweetener or sugar-free confectioners sweetener.
