Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cup almond flour (or ground almonds, 200g)
  • 3/4 cup butter (room temperature, 170g)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (55g, use 1/2 cup for a sweeter cookie)
  • 1 egg yolk (large)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (sugar free)
  • 1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C electric / 160C fan / 350 F.
  • Blend the butter, egg yolk, vanilla extract and powdered sweetener for about 1 minute until smooth, fluffy and airy.
  • Add the almond flour and xanthan gum and blend until combined. Taste the dough and adjust sweetener to taste.
  • Fill the cookie dough into a piping bag and pipe onto a cookie sheet lined with baking paper. Make sure you don't pipe them too flat or they may become fragile. Also, leave space between the cookies as they will spread a little.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the ridges.
  • Let the cookies cool fully before touching. They are very fragile when hot, but crisp up as they cool.
