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