Servings: 30
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup erythritol or Swerve
- 1/2 tsp vanilla axtract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp Xantan gum optional
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
Instructions
- Bring all of your ingredients at room temperature.Prepare cookie cutters. I recommend that you make cookies, that are on the smaller size 2-3 -inches. This is what I’ve used to calculate the recipe nutritional info.
- Beat all ingredients to create the dough. Start with he butter and sweetener. Then add vanilla and egg. Finally add the flours. Beat until incorporated, then gather into a ball. Split the ball into 2 parts.
- Shape the dough into 2 disks (make balls, then flatten), wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. Chilling makes working with he dough easier.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Prepare two large baking sheets and line with Silpat or Parchment paper.
- Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper until it is 1/4-inch thick.
- Using holiday cookie cutters, cut out cookies and place on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden. Baking time varies, depending on the size of the cookies.
