Ingredients
- Almond flour 190g
- Melted butter 120g
- Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia) 5-10 Tbsp (adjust to taste)
- Salt 1/4 tsp
- 1 large egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, sugar-free sweetener, salt, and egg. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough. Mix just until no dry flour is visible.
Step 2
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon, a fork, or the bottom of a glass to create your desired shape. Aim for a moderate thickness; pressing too thin may cause the cookies to break.
Step 3
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your cookies and adjust baking time as needed. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack after baking to ensure a perfectly crisp texture.
