Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Truvia white sugar blend
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (can use 1 egg instead)
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Almond Extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Mix all ingredients with a mixer. (I actually use my hands with food safe gloves on as I like how it feels gooshing through my fingers as it mixes.)
-
Evenly divide mixture to make 18 cookies.
-
Roll each piece into balls.
-
Flatten each dough ball with a fork making a criss-cross pattern. (The dough balls will not spread and so you have to flatten them.)
-
Bake for 25 minutes.
-
Let cool thoroughly. They will be crumbly until cooled.
-
ENJOY!
Recipe Notes
- My family adores the cookie press almond trees at Christmas time. I was really sad at not being able to eat those. So, I set out to find some alternatives. This recipe is one and tastes JUST LIKE what we all loved so much.
- These cookies brown a little better with Truvia than they do with other sugar alternatives, but not much.
- I like Xanthan Gum better than using an egg. That is just me. Either works fine to keep cookie from crumbling so much without them.
- This recipe yields cookies at 2 carbs per cookie. Compare that to say one of the better almond cookies on the market at 14 carbs per cookie!!!!
- This is a win in the battle!
