Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter
  • ¾ cup Sugar Free powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Almond Flour: Measure out the almond flour into a medium bowl and use a fork or whisk to fluff it up, breaking up any clumps for a light, even texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar-free powdered sugar and butter on low speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring the sugar alternative is fully incorporated.
  4. Add Flavor and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, blending thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors throughout.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the fluffed almond flour into the butter mixture, mixing well until a consistent dough forms.
  6. Form Cookies: Scoop the cookie dough using a cookie scoop, roll each portion into a ball with your hands, then flatten them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some room between cookies to allow slight spreading during baking. Optionally top with desired toppings.
  7. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown, indicating they are done.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. This rest time helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking apart when handled.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming with powdered sugar.
  • Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for a smooth dough and better cookie texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Optionally, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or sugar-free chocolate chips on top before baking for a flavor twist.
  • Make sure to use sugar-free powdered sugar designed for keto baking for best results.
