Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup low-calorie natural sweetener (e.g., Swerve®)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, softened butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until you get a smooth dough.
- Roll the dough into twelve 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Press down with a fork twice to create a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Keep a close eye to avoid over-baking.
- Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
If the dough feels too soft or sticky, chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to make it easier to handle. For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of additional cinnamon on top of the cookies before baking. Use a cookie scoop to make evenly-sized cookie balls for consistent baking.
