Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Lakanto powdered sweetener (or another powdered sweetener of choice)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Coating:
- 1/4 cup Lakanto powdered sweetener (to roll cookies in)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy clean-up.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Lakanto powdered sweetener, and salt.
- Add the butter and vanilla extract, then mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be soft but hold its shape when rolled into balls.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop and roll the dough into 24 small balls.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
- After baking, let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 5: Coat with Sweetener
- Once the cookies have cooled to room temperature, dust them with the Lakanto powdered sweetener. You can also toss the cookies in the powdered sweetener for an even coating.
Step 6: Serve
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Room temperature is best for these cookies, and they will stay fresh for several days when stored in an airtight container.
