Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (224g) Almond Flour, finely ground
  • ¼ cup (50g) Erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup (226g or 2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 1 tablespoon (12.5g) Erythritol (Optional)
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Optional)

Instructions:

  1. If using almond meal, pulse it in a food processor until finely ground.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Option 1: Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness and use cookie cutters. Option 2: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. If desired, mix erythritol and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the cookie balls or lightly press the cut-out cookies into the mixture.
  10. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
